Next week, the LIFE ShepForBio project will participate in a webinar organized by CIPRA France, bringing together shepherding schools from across the Alpine region. CIPRA, the International Commission for the Protection of the Alps, is a non-governmental organization dedicated to sustainable development in the Alps. In recent years, it has launched several projects and initiatives to promote shepherding.
In addition to the LIFE ShepForBio project, which has undertaken specific activities from the outset to foster greater collaboration among European schools, representatives from four Alpine schools will participate in the event: Maria Naynar – HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein (Austria, https://raumberg-gumpenstein.at/), Pia Burkhardt – Agricultural School of Salern (Italy, https://www.fachschule-salern.it/it/home), Morgane Duffy – Shepherding School of Sulens (France, https://alpageecoledesulens.wixsite.com/website), and Jan Boner – Agricultural School Plantahof (Switzerland, https://www.gr.ch/DE/institutionen/verwaltung/dvs/lbbz/Seiten/welcome.aspx).
This event represents an opportunity to explore innovative practices in shepherding, connect with industry experts, and learn about the crucial role of training in the shepherding profession.
