International Year Of Rangelands And Pastoralists (Iyrp) History, Process, Priority Themes And Way Forward, James T. O’Rourke, Maryam Niamir-Fuller, Barbara Hutchinson
IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)
The road towards the declaration of an IYRP by the United Nations has been long and rocky, perhaps mirroring the relative lack of understanding by some governments of the importance of rangelands and pastoralists for a sustainable world, compared to the focus on other sectors such as forest or cropland sustainability. The idea was first discussed at the International Rangeland (IRC) and Grassland (IGC) Congress held in Hohhot, China in 2008. The creation of an International Support Group (ISG) in 2015 helped to provide a stronger rational and the integration of social dimensions. This has led to a growing partnership …

Authentic Learning Practices: International Design Project, Erik Bohemia, Gillian Davison
Authentic Learning Practices: International Design Project, Erik Bohemia, Gillian Davison
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Higher Education is experiencing an increasingly diverse student population. Students bring a range of skills and experiences to their courses; they have different backgrounds and different needs. This fluidity requires an approach to teaching that encompasses the social aspects of learning. It has been suggested that authentic approaches to teaching and learning can assist in offering a perspective on learning which views learning as ‘enabling participation in knowing’. We propose that the authentic learning practices developed in The Gift design project, discussed in this paper, constituted approaches which acknowledged that students’ interests and experience are intrinsically bound up with motivation …
