Developing accessible
animal welfare education for animal welfare inspectors and tour operators in
the Europe
This week
the JMICAWE team welcomed Born Free Foundation Programme Manager, Daniel
Turner, whose work includes promoting methods for raising international
standards in animal protection in Europe and the global context, through
compassionate tourism. The purpose of the visit was to discuss the
development of an educational tool for EU State animal welfare Inspectors and
the Tourism industry, to enable the delivery of accessible credible information
about animal welfare concepts and international standards as well as how to
identify and address poor animal welfare, and then use this information during
an animal welfare assessment or audit. The JMICAWE team have already developed
a number of professional development programmes for different audiences, such
as the ‘on-demand’ MOOC (see https://www.coursera.org/learn/animal-welfare
), and so we plan to build on our experience, to
ensure that this new professional development programme is just as innovative
and interactive and provides the ‘real world’ learning experience needed to
enable effective application of animal protection policies in Europe.
