Through the BLEFT project and the support of the Erasmus+ programme

Now that we know each other, let me present to you my training course and why and how I designed it
00:25
Observation 1 : forestry needs a sustainable forest management to keep on with its activity
00:33
My answer : sustainable forest management is in many countries in Europe mandatory, due to environmental concerns. But it also serves foresters, who are ensuring the future of their jobs through sustainable management.
00:42
Observation 2 – a growing demand for environmentally responsible products
00:50
My answer : the forestry and wood industry need to prove their SFM commitment to the consumers. The solution is SFM certifications such as PEFC and FSC

The "Sustainable forest management and certification systems" training course promotes sustainable forest management and forest certifications, as its name suggests, by providing forestry professionals with knowledge on these subjects in a simple and fun way, using innovative teaching tools.
01:10
Thanks to the training course, the ( future & current) professionals will have a better knowledge of SFM and will be able to have this commitment certified. They will also have all the information they need to make their sustainable forest management a long-term commitment.

The issue : Currently, sustainable forest management and forest certification are too often seen as a hindrance to the profitability of the company.

The solution : In this training course, we recontextualise these principles and present them for what they are: a real opportunity for forestry companies.
