- Abstract (EN)
- The European Union by its Commission and its Council is stimulating the debate on the processes necessary to fulfil these qualifications. Indeed, some European towns have lent their name to these initiatives. Forestry in general is changing continuously and forestry education has to adapt to these changes. At the same time forestry education has also to cope with these European initiatives to ensure the quality and standards of their curricula. SILVA Network meetings have regularly given a platform for forestry teachers to exchange experiences with their colleagues and with experts from other institutions. Quite a number of different aspects have been discussed, with curriculum development seen as fundamental. Here, in Valencia, quality assurance was added to the palette. It is nearly impossible to discuss all aspects of curriculum development in one meeting; on the other hand it is surprising how many aspects can be touched upon in two days. How a curriculum should be developed is not discussed, but quite a number of building stones were given. A short overview, not in a chronological but a logical sequence: The last subject to be discussed was the need for a mission statement. Surprisingly, because in this statement the need, relevance, quality and subject of a forestry curriculum is given and thus should be placed at the start. Annette Schuck described the relations of the mission statement and thus the curriculum with the environment and concludes yes, Curricula need a mission and the SILVA Network needs it now.
