Join ForGEDI MOOC anniversary Webinar!

We are pleased to invite you to a special event celebrating one year of the ForGEDI MOOC—the first open-access course dedicated to Gender Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (GEDI) in forestry education.

Over the past year, the course has reached nearly 2000 learners worldwide, with a remarkable dropout rate of just 2.3%,
reflecting the growing global demand for more inclusive and transformative forestry education. To mark this milestone, the newly formed ForGEDI IUFRO Task Force, together with Nordic Forest Research (SNS), International Forestry Students’ Association (IFSA), and International Union of Forest Research Organisations (IUFRO), will host an online anniversary webinar:

  • 🗓Title: Growing Gender Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (GEDI) through Forestry Education: Overcoming Challenges and Making an Impact
  • 📅 Date: April 8, 2025
  • 🕘 Time: 9:00–10:00 CEST and 15:00–16:00 CEST
  • 📍 Online | Hosted by the University of Padova

The event will feature a keynote presentation: Vivienne Mack, Head of the IUFRO Gender Sub-commission, and Panel discussions with international researchers, educators, and practitioners.

1st session (9.00 - 10.00 CEST)

2nd session (15.00 – 16.00 CEST)

Join us to reflect on the impact of GEDI in forestry, discuss challenges, and explore how education can drive meaningful change in uncertain times. No registration is required – simply join us online! Save the date and be part of the conversation.
 
We look forward to seeing you there!
