FOCUSED TRADE EVENTS

EDUCATION PROGRAMME ACCREDITATION
The Education Committee of the IFLA APR wishes to remind all delegates that the IFLA World Council ratified the process and protocols for landscape architecture education programme accreditation in our region. This is especially relevant to those programmes where the national association is yet to formally prepare and adopt their own accreditation system to meet IFLArequirements, or where an individual programme wishes to benchmark their graduates to a global standard. ExCo would appreciate it if all delegates could please notify any education providers in their country who meet the above criteria about the opportunity for them to review their programme against a global benchmark. Any providers which are interested in taking this further are invited to contact the secretariat in the first instance.
IFLA is building a COMMUNITY
IFLA APR is caching up with the need to engage better with our regional landscape architect’s community. The first step has now been taken by integrating IFLA-APR activities on a new events platform made for associations. Now we need your help by spreading the word and inviting your colleagues in the industry, whether supplier, contractor or client, to join the community where soon we will be able to share and learn more from each other.
Registering a profile withIFLA APR is the first step. From there you can start contacting participants of the various events you partake in, transfer your event schedule into your calendar and download conference papers.
