Me mandaron este. Es una beca para asistir un curso de 2 semanas en
biodiversidad al "Preston Mountford Field Centre", cerca de
Shrewsbury (sitio de nacimiento de Charles Darwin) No tiene ninguna
relacion especial con el projecto TABD "Darwin Initiative",
pero puede ser de interes a los integrantes de este lista. Imagino
que los becados pueden aprender algo de la biodiversidad (!) de
Inglaterra.<br><br>

<font face="Times New Roman, Times">Dear Colleague</font> <br><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">A quick email to let you know that
the Field Studies Council, a UK based environmental education NGO, is
launching a two week<b> Darwin Scholarship Programme</b> that aims to
develop “better naturalists” in the spirit of Darwin’s love of nature and
observing the natural world. The Scholarship is part of
the official Darwin 200 Celebration programme. The
Scholarship will focus on three areas<br><br></font>
<ul>
<font face="Symbol">·</font>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">skills of observation and
identification </font>
<font face="Symbol">·</font>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">skills of recording
biodiversity </font>
<font face="Symbol">·</font>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">skills of communicating biodiversity
to different target groups</font> <br><br>
</ul><font face="Times New Roman, Times">The full cost of the scholarship
is 3000 GBP but the FSC is funding most of this ourselves.
Scholars will have to find 750 GBP and the cost of the flight. I believe
that is</font><b> <font face="Times New Roman, Times">fantastic value</b>
for a two week high level training course in the UK.<br><br>
The deadline for applications was 31 March but as this information has
just reached you this has been</font><b>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">extended to the 25 April</b>.
<br><br>
Please do pass this information to anyone that is involved in your Darwin
project you think would be interested in this programme and would benefit
from this training. I am sure that it would be really useful
to anyone in your project involved in public participation for
example. Perhaps attending the scholarship could be tied in
with a visit to the UK for some members of your project teams? <br><br>
With best wishes – and please do get back in touch if you need more
information at this stage. <br><br>
