Organizing projects
Within the internship I did a lot of fieldwork. Because of this I have seen of what aspects you have to think while organizing a project (equipment, boat navigators, and permissions).
Furthermore I have learned how an education program can be set up and what things have to be taken into account. It is important determine the knowledge present and to adjust the program to each group. It is of importance to convey an objective and supported message taking the viewpoints of people into account. I became also aware that local people have a lot of knowledge that could help in research and conservation.
Before the internship I did not have any experience in environmental education and I had no idea if it could work. In the future I would like to do some environmental education, because I have seen now that people can be reached and that you can receive a lot of new insights.
