What is a Wisdom Workshop?
Wisdom Workshops are held one-to-two times per year, and are
an opportunity for Young Surveyors who are interested in
applying for an in-Country deployment and/or gaining
humanitarian surveying skills to meet, network and hear from
industry leaders as well as learn useful technical skills.
Wisdom Workshops are a great way for Young Surveyors to get
hands-on experience with the tools that VCSP Partners use as
well as a unique opportunity to meet peers from around the world
and form collaborations and professional relationships.
This year's Wisdom Workshop
With increased participation in the drive towards a more secure
tenure for all, it becomes pertinent to identify the challenges
preventing tenure security, harness existing solutions and disseminate
approaches to identifying such solutions amidst the agents of change.
Young Surveyors of the FIG are a major stakeholder in ensuring the
realisation of a secured tenure system for all. Notable amidst its fora
of influence is the Volunteer Community Surveyor Program; where Young
Surveyors volunteer their skills to map the world to a better place. The
in-Country path of the VCSP supports pro-poor land registrations in
different countries of the world. The Wisdom Workshop path of the VCSP
is poised to equip young surveyors with relevant skills necessary to act
as agents of significant change while volunteering their skills, within
and beyond the in-Country deployments.
This year's Wisdom Workshop aims to provide participants with skills
necessary to promote tenure security in the face of legal, institutional
and social challenges. Priority will be given to places where
deployments will likely be made in the quarter 3 of our year 2 program
(February - April 2022).
When?
The workshop will be held on Friday December 3, 2021 starting at 0700
UTC. The programme is available in the
flyer.
