Developing training for your network

Contexto

Training is essential to ensuring that your community - including data holders, data users, biodiversity knowledge experts, decision makers and public stakeholders - can effectively contribute to and benefit from GBIF. Many nodes engage in training individually and with others from the community. The GBIF community has now developed a wealth of training materials that is adapted and reused by many nodes in their training activities. Taking a strategic approach to planning training for your network can help you to identify training needs and priorities. This module focuses on planning for effective training, drawing on nodes' experiences, and an overview of GBIF’s approach to building a community of practice to support capacity enhancement and training in the network.

These materials were developed as part of the 2019 Global Nodes training in Leiden, Netherlands.
