An introductory course of 6-7 weeks offers a common theoretical and practical knowledge base to the fellows and provides them with interdisciplinary training and understanding of physical, biological, socio-economical and cultural aspect of environmental issues. The introductory course is also intended to be a forum where the fellows enter into dialogue and share experiences through presentations and seminars on land degradation and desertification problems in their home countries.
The introductory course will consider theories, methods, capacity building, practical training, sharing experience and
networking.
