● exchange of experiences, experts and expertise ● development and sharing of extension tools ● establishing joint learning platforms ● exchange of best practices ● developing and implementing relevant European projects
In October 2022, we visited Carlow, Ireland, where the Intergrate Network has Oakpark 2 marteloscope. On site, there was a demo of the the I+Trainer software.
These actions are done for example in following topics: ● finding and developing tools/methodologies/best practices for engaging new and inactive forest owners ● communication with forest owners, general public and society ● sustainable, climate friendly forestry and its role in climate change ● environment protection and diversity ● improving e-learning ● digitalisation, new tools ● developing certification in forestry and extension services ● soft skills (e.g. group facilitation, extension methods, leadership) ● sustainable non-industrial private forestry and wood mobilisation ● examples of supply chain regarding bio economy and ecosystem services and goods ● framework and structure of extension organisations ● influencing on policy members and lobbying ● translating materials for disseminating information
