PCCP Latin American course sessions for young professionals are being held in various Latin America universities
Several courses are organized in various universities across Latin America in coordination with UNESCO Montevideo field office:
- a 4-month online course addressed to post-graduate students at the Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales (FLACSO), Argentina;
- one module as a post graduate activity (one week) and two modules included in a graduate course of the faculty of Geography (4 months) of the University of Buenos Aires;
- some modules will be included in the Environmental Engineering postgraduate course of the University of Caracas, Venezuela.
The objectives of these courses are:
- to improve the knowledge of the IWRM (Integrated Water Resource Management),
- to improve the understanding of the process of conflict transformation and provide instruments for negotiation, and
- to strengthen regional diplomacy as it is related to water resources.
The courses use the PCCP material that was specifically developed for Latin America and published during the 2nd phase of the programme. As an interdisciplinary capacity building/enhancement activity, this course material was designed by a group of experts with various backgrounds (law, hydrology, social sciences, diplomacy, etc.) and coming from different Latin American countries, in order to create links and foster dialogue among them.
