Are you going to be present at Tropentag? Come and join us!!

YPARD in collaboration with AGRINATURA will conduct a workshop on “Supporting youth in agriculture and research: Role of youth-based organisations” during the pre-conference workshop sessions at Tropentag.

The workshop will explore with students, researchers, young agricultural professionals, and other stakeholders what actions can the youth take to contribute to the improvement of the agricultural sector for future generations and how YPARD and AGRINATURA can contribute more in this issue. Youth will be the central vision as present and future agents and beneficiaries, the other participants will play the role of supporting partners as a source of inputs, experience and knowledge sharing.

A highlight of the workshop will be a training on how to publish a scientific paper in agriculture-oriented research: tips for early career researchers.

Is your submitted contribution accepted for Tropentag conference? Will you be present at the event as a participant? Would you like to meet the AGRINATRURA secretariat, the YPARD team, and other fellow YPARDians? While at the same time creating connections with other participants, scientist, extension workers, decision makers, etc? If yes, this is the place for you! We would love to have you on board and work with you to impart the workshop!

The Main purpose of the workshop is to explore the main strategies for improving the position of young people in the agricultural sector as youth based NGOs and provide valuable training for young researchers.
