Home Partner events

Learning does not happen only in the classroom, IFSA invites you to take part in the following opportunities to better understand forestry in a dynamic and changing world. We create space for young people to engage in international processes, environmental and forest policy dialogues, as well as scientific conferences. In these events you will be more than an observer, but a reporter, teacher, representative, and voice for inclusion of IFSA’s membership. Gain new insights on what it is like to be an IFSA delegate at our IFSA Blog – [See IFSA BLOG]
