Training at IOI-Canada
(60 MB m4v file - open with e.g. VLC media player) Training is a key activity of the IOI global network. The Institute's flagship interdisciplinary training programme has been conducted at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia each summer since the course was initiated by Elisabeth Mann Borgese in 1981. This two-month training programme on Ocean Governance: Policy, Law and Management is offered through the IOI network's OceanLearn suite of courses. The training programme emphasises the importance of viewing the ocean as a system with varied users and multiple, often competing and conflicting, uses. It also aims to increase awareness of the fact that ocean management requires broad interdisciplinary skills, new institutional and legal infrastructures, and new forms of intergovernmental and non-governmental organisation and cooperation at the local, national and international levels. Training consists of over 200 hours in the classroom. While the course is primarily lecture-based, it also includes interactive discussions, exercises, field trips, and an international round table.
