Booklet: Engaging Local Communities in Promoting Ecotourism in Protected Areas (Russian)

“Interactive methods, tuition for each participant, and a project-oriented approach to trainings underlie all of the Centre’s educational programs. Participants devise their own practical projects based on the results of each seminar or educational tour. After the seminar, with methodological support from experienced counselors, these projects are put into practice, and successful experiences are shared throughout the PA network. Teaching is not an end in itself, but a means of achieving practical goals.” - From the description of the Zapovedniks Centre educational program
