> *Online training course on marine litter - DeFishGear project*
>
> MIO-ECSDE / MEdIES launches an online training course on marine litter 
> targeting formal and non formal educators to be held from 10 to 22 May 
> 2016. The 13-day e-course is implemented within the framework of the 
> IPA-Adriatic DeFishGear project under the auspices of UNEP/MAP.
>
> This e-course is based on the educational material “Know, feel, act! 
> to Stop Marine Litter”. This is an output of the FP7 MARLISCO project 
> that has been translated and applied in 15 Euro-Mediterranean 
> countries. The material contains a set of 17 educational activities 
> examining the characteristics, sources, effects and possible ways to 
> tackle the problem, addressing it from an environmental, societal, 
> cultural and economic point of view. The material has been designed to 
> primarily serve middle school level, but can be easily adjusted to fit 
> the needs of younger or older students, or to be used outside the 
> formal schooling system. The Pack is available in English and many 
> other languages here.
>
> The full e-course is equivalent to a 1.5-day face-to-face 
> train-the-trainer seminar. Its aim is to train on effective ways of 
> teaching about marine litter issues. The course language is English.
>
> This is not a course based on individual reading and a final test. It 
> is based on the principle of adaptive collaborative learning, which 
> means participants will need to actively contribute in it by taking 
> part in the forum discussions, posing questions to fellow participants 
> and facilitators, making suggestions to improve the content and 
> working solo or in groups to complete the assignments. Whatever form 
> your participation will take, you will be co-responsible for the 
> content development during the course and the level of interaction!
>
> The e-course targets mainly, but not exclusively, the DeFishGear 
> project countries (Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, 
> Italy, Montenegro and Slovenia) and welcomes:
>
> Teachers of primary and secondary level of all disciplines (formal 
> education sector).
> Educators in museums, parks, aquariums, NGOs etc. (non formal 
> education sector).
> Managers, scientists, staff, volunteers, etc. of aquatic Parks, 
> coastal local authorities, etc. with an experience in the topic of 
> marine litter and an interest in education.
>
> Applications from other countries, especially of the 
> Euro-Mediterranean area are also eligible and will be accepted based 
> on the quality of the application form.
>
> Applications are treated on a first come-first served basis.
>
> _Deadline for registrations: 9 May 2016._
