Read the text in Russian here

As part of our work on sustainable development on Sakhalin Island, LEF have designed and developed the training course An Introduction to Sustainable Development for key stakeholders in Korsakov city and District. 
Participants attending a training module in Okhotskoe, Sakhalin (October 2008)

This training course has been developed in partnership with Sakhalin State University (SSU), and is being delivered by LEF in conjunction with the newly formed Sustainable Development (SD) Department of the University. It was formally initiated in Korsakov on 21st September 2007, and ran until May 2009.
Twenty key stakeholders from government, civil society organisations and the private sector are participating in the programme, which is based on eight units that will be delivered in nine 2-day modules. The training will be accredited by SSU and LEF.

The course promotes active learning, and incorporates problem-solving exercises, field trips, group work and role-play, as well as visits to project sites.

Group work on the course in Korsakov
A year-long Training of Trainers course for 5 lecturers from SSU is running in parallel to this, and the SSU participants will be co-tutoring the Korsakov course from beginning to end, along with Edgardo Garcia Larralde and Ed Craven of Living Earth. This will help build the capacity of the SD Department of SSU to deliver learning-and-action projects aimed at promoting the sustainable development of Sakhalin.

The programme aims to give the participants from the different sectors the tools, skills, self confidence and practical experience needed to develop constructive relations and partnerships geared to sustainable development.
