People-Centered Strategies for Human-Wildlife Conflict Management - Led by Eva Maria Cattoen & Eva Gross

In this short course, we will explore how participation and mediative work can help addressing human-wildlife conflicts and we will hear about tools and practice methods used in conflict mediation. The course is based on case studies from Europe and beyond and aims at sharing knowledge, best-practice and experience. It is well suited for those who are interested in gaining insights into environmental mediation and explore about its potential.

Exploring Conservation Social Science Biographies and Experiences- Led by Claudia Grunewald, Thomas Fish & Eick von Ruschkowski

The workshop will include an overview of the innovation biography approach, results from the Delphi study, and a mix of individual and interactive group exercises. Participants will actively engage with each other to share their experiences and develop their own conservation social science biographies. Workshop activities will enhance understanding of intervention points, needs, tools, and strategies for training and workforce development toward advancing a more robust community of practice in Europe (and beyond).
