Dear Forum members,

September 1st 2006 is the next starting date of the online courses in Wetland Management that UNESCO-IHE and the Partnership of Water Education and Research (PoWER) are jointly offering.

The course is based upon training material used in various formats, settings and regions and was offered in online form successfully in 2005. It is targeted at professionals who do not have the time to take a course that lasts several weeks abroad, who like to combine education with daily work and have the possibility to directly apply acquired knowledge and skills. Based on feedback from last year’s participants, we have adapted the 2006 course to answer better the needs of the online learner.

Please note that the availability of the course is conditional to a sufficient number of enrolled participants.

More detailed Information about these course is available on the UNESCO-IHE website (http://www.unesco-ihe.org/education/ilearning.htm) where you can also find information about other online courses available. You can also contact Anne van Dam (coordinator online course Wetlands Management).

Kind regards,

Anne van Dam (a.vandam@unesco-ihe.org)
