[TABD] Darwin Scholarship Programme

[FSCEE]

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.

Dear Colleague

A quick email to let you know that the Field 
Studies Council, a UK based environmental 
education NGO, is launching a two week Darwin 
Scholarship Programme 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

·       skills of observation and 
identification   ·       skills of recording 
biodiversity   ·       skills of communicating 
biodiversity to different target groups

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 
fantastic value for a two week high level training course in the UK.

The deadline for applications was 31 March but as 
this information has just reached you this has been extended to the 25 April.

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?

With best wishes – and please do get back in 
touch if you need more information at this stage.
