Do you need to build your skills in conservation social science? This is your chance!
There are two Human Nature courses coming up which are designed to help you take your next steps in social science:
If you are relatively new to conservation social science or want to build your understanding and confidence, you need the Essentials of Conservation Social Science course.
This one day online course covers:
- What social science is and why it’s fundamental to conservation
- How both quantitative and qualitative research methods contribute to social science
- The diversity of methods that go far beyond questionnaires
The day closes with an exploration of how you can integrate social science into your own work to give you a springboard to implement what you’ve learnt.
There are two dates to choose from to suit your location:
3 June runs from 9.30am – 4.30pm BST, for people in Africa, Asia and Europe
4 June runs from 2.30 – 9.30pm BST, for people in North and South America
This is a pay as you can training offering. Yes, you read that correctly! The standard rate is £125 or £95 reduced for students/NGOs. Please pay that if you can. But if not, simply pay whatever you can. And please share with others who might find this helpful.
The second training opportunity is the Qualitative Methods of Conservation course. This is for you if you are delivering research which gathers text-based data such as interviews, focus groups or open ended questionnaires. You’ll deliver skills to help you conduct, interpret and supervise qualitative research. This is a more in-depth course: over five sessions you get taught content to learn principles, breakout tasks to hone your qualitative research skills and a supportive space to develop your ideas. After the course you get a mentoring call to keep you progressing.
The Qualitative Methods for Conservation course is running each day from Monday 23rd June to Friday 27th June from 10am to 3pm (BST). The standard rate is £450 and reduced rate for students/NGO staff/unemployed is £385.
