Facilitating Species Conservation Planning Processes
14 October-17 October 2019
Chester Zoo
Chester, UK
The course is designed to build capacity for the effective facilitation of species conservation planning processes. The course is relevant to conservation professionals and academics working within zoos, universities and field programs, and in particular, those involved in or wishing to be involved in, developing conservation plans.
This will be a blended course, mixing pre-course online lectures and knowledge checks with a four day in-person taught workshop in which participants will spend much of their time in facilitated scenarios to develop their skills. By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Demonstrate how to facilitate effective workshops and meetings
Apply the ‘One Plan Approach’ to species conservation processes
Deal with conflict under different circumstances
Demonstrate effective listening skills
Describe how to provide feedback to individuals to improve relationships and work effectively
Course fee: £400 (this includes daily transfers to course venue from our preferred hotel; lunch and refreshments each day; and a delegate’s dinner). We have secured a discount rate for delegates at a hotel in Chester from £53 per night B&B.
