Now that this Erasmus funded project is nearing its end, it is time to reflect upon what has been achieved over the three years of workshops and webinars on the topic of Garden Conservation.
When:
On the 21st of November, between 14:00 and 16:15 (UTC +01:00), you are all invited to join the last webinar for now, arranged by the Craft Skills for Garden Conservation-partners.
What:
A panel of contributors representing the different countries involved will attempt to summarise the highlights of the project, as well as some of the challenges. We will share how the project can still be accessed on the website using recordings of past webinars and films of the workshops. In addition, we will consider some of the comments made by participants, and see how these might be addressed in a future project.
We will also look forward to the spring of 2025 when we plan to bid for further project funds to build on what we have already achieved. Members of the audience will be canvassed on topics and formats for future workshops and training schemes, and we hope to build this into the bid.
How:
The webinar is free of charge. A sing-up link will be available soon.
