Background:
The inclusion of youth and women in restoration has been widely recognized as critical to the restoration movement, consequently widespread calls for all actors in the restoration space to ensure their engagement/involvement. This webinar will therefore focus on showcasing models and approaches for their inclusion. It will go a step further to explore how children can also be included as a means of contributing to raising the next generation of restoration champions. It will also seek to address some challenges to their inclusion specifically inadequate awareness, education, and capacity to engage in restoration.
