Learning

At the GLF, we believe that learning is the foundation of long-lasting change. Through collaborative learning among diverse stakeholders, conflicts can be mediated and solved, and innovative solutions to global challenges can be created. This is at our core, and is why we are committed to building a vibrant global community of practitioners engaged in experimental and shared learning experiences. This is key for accelerating the integration of landscape approaches in national policy, civil society, corporations and international organizations.

Our learning activities

So far, we have developed three types of activities. For professionals currently working in landscapes, we help them understand landscape approaches and how to operationalize them within their own contexts. For this, the Landscape Academy brings together relevant online and offline training opportunities that you can then choose from to create a customized program. Moreover, a specially designed set of online Cerfiticate Programmes offers you the opportunity to cement your knowledge and skills to become a recognized landscape professional.
