  1. @vliz2006 @vliz2006 @vliz2006 @vliz2006 BeNCoRe Conference State of the Art and Future of Belgian Coastal Research Theme 10: Capacity building, education and training in ICZM Natalie Beenaerts BenCore Conference, Leuven, 26/04/2007

  2. Theme 10: Capacity building, education and training in ICZM • BRIDGE • Other themes are ways to deliver Capacity Building • Overview: • 1) ENCORA - Coastal WIKI - theme 10 • 2) Capacity building in Belgium • 3) Theme 10 in the light of the Green paper

  3. Hier fotootje van Valencia 1) ENCORA - Coastal WIKI - theme 10 original goal for theme 10: The theme will conduct a survey on capacity building, education and training courses in ICZM, raise a European network for Capacity Building Training and Education, establish an exchange program for students and instructors and dress a European Action Plan. Valencia workshop - Nov. 2006 New approach: use web-based encyclopedia facilities: WIKIPEDIA COASTALWIKI

  4. SECTION 1: GENERAL ISSUES New philosophy of CB The CB Concept The European context SECTION 2: CB in the context of ICZM Evidence of needs CB needs & the ICZM cycle Assessment SECTION 3: EXISTING RESOURCES Formal CB Informal CB Best practices Maximizing CB effectiveness Catalogue References

  5. SECTION 1: GENERAL ISSUES New philosophy of CB The CB Concept The European context • process of CB • broader CB strategies • various levels of CB -definitions -EU recommendations and principles -future Maritime Strategy (developing new CB resources, new jobs, CB to restructure coastal areas)

  6. SECTION 1: GENERAL ISSUES New philosophy of CB The CB Concept The European context SECTION 2: CB in the context of ICZM Evidence of needs CB needs & the ICZM cycle Assessment Why? What? How? To spec. CB needs, gaps, opportunities At individual At institutional level Current gaps and existing capabilities Especially with examples on courses, case studies addressing CB need at diff. steps in ICZM cycle

  7. SECTION 1: GENERAL ISSUES New philosophy of CB The CB Concept The European context SECTION 2: CB in the context of ICZM Evidence of needs CB needs & the ICZM cycle Assessment SECTION 3: EXISTING RESOURCES Formal CB Informal CB Best practices Academic Non-academic Associated services Awareness raising Maximizing CB effectiveness Evaluation of CB practices, strategies Learning cycle for ICZM Design of evaluation methods

  8. 2) Belgian examples on formal CB in ICZM

VLIZ www.vliz.be MUMM www.mumm.ac.be/ Het Zwin www.west-vlaanderen.be/zwin NME www.milieueducatie.be Horizon educatief www.horizoneducatief.be/ Coordination centre for ICZM www.west-vlaanderen.be/jahia/Jahia /site/kustbeheer_en KBIN/IRSNB http://www.naturalsciences.be/ AWZ-kust http://www.afdelingkust.be De Strandwerkgroep www.strandwerkgroep.be/ De Nachtegaal www.vbncdenachtegaal.be Research Institutes/ Departments Europe - Global Ex: coastlearn (multimedia package Federal Government

  10. Collaboration/ joint initiatives • Preferably with link to tourist departments (specially with awareness initiatives for general public) • Become part of an existing initiatives • Educate, train, sensitise teachers (create fundamentals) • Educate volunteers • Make sure enough and relevant actors are involved in workgroups - Financial means!!

  11. 3) Theme 10 in the light of the Green paper 3) Theme 10 in the light of the Green paper • Green paper: • holistic, integrated and all embracing approach • CB in ICZM • - cross sectoral management approach (industry, environment, transport, fisheries, research…interact) -- through educating/training people at all levels • - CB is complex and specific needs should be identified at local/regional/national scale and not only at global scale • European Marine Strategy • Related to environmental issues • BOTH documents are linked  • Principle of Integration is based on the idea that sustainable management relies on a sound knowledge of the interrelations of the socio-economic and environmental systems of a certain geographical region.

  12. 3) Theme 10 in the light of the Green paper What role can centres of excellence play and extend this to the need for ICZM excellence centres? Existing centres of excellence in marine research should integrate institutional-social implementation issues ( applied social/scientific research) in their fundamental research and communicate these Can happen with the assistance of existing centres for ICZM awareness (VLIZ, coordinatiepunt, etc.) Examples: - Study different implementation strategies of integrated management within different administration levels - Develop methods to involve stakeholders in the management process

  13. Conclusion for Belgium: • Knowledge and Understanding in several disciplines of ICZM at different levels and places • BUT: • Do we offer enough/relevant capacity building, education and/or training opportunities? • e.g. Formal education level: do students know about Agenda 21, Green paper, Lisbon Strategy, local/international maritime laws? • Is there enough collaboration, exchange of knowledge and information? • Is the general public aware enough? Are they familiar enough with ICZM concept, the needs, etc. • ==> the opinion of the people manages the agenda of many stakeholders, policy makers and politicians!!!) • Awareness should start at local level, but Belgian coastline is only +/-65 km. European cooperation in further CB development is evident!

  14. LAST REQUEST: a survey on ICZM courses within Europe Acknowledgements: • ENCORA theme 10 colleagues, especially Stella Vallejo and Maica • Kathy, Nancy, Ann, Simon, Marilaure …. for their valuable input! Thank you for your attention
