Description
About Biodiversity Literacy Training™
What the training covers:
- What biodiversity is and why it is important
- The causes and drivers of the biodiversity crisis
- The impacts of everyday activities on biodiversity
- How to restore nature at home and beyond
The training is suitable for a broad audience of staff and students, and does not require prior knowledge, but is rather an educational entry-level course to gain an overall understanding of the biodiversity crisis and how you can take practical actions to help.
What do participants gain?
Through completing the training, participants will gain a basic understanding of the biodiversity crisis, effective ways to restore nature, communication skills for influencing others and a recognized certification.
The training involves the following commitment:
- Completing an online pre-reading course (90 minutes) prior to the training session
- Attending and participating in a 3-hour interactive online workshop delivered by SOS UK
- Filling in a short certification form, which is then sent by SOS UK to the University of Edinburgh to review the forms and certify learners.
Both scheduled and on-demand sessions are available.
