Let's Play! Replicating Picasso: communication tactics for adaptive conservation

Why attend
Young conservation change-makers can learn about the main principles behind adaptive management for conservation as they compete in groups to complete a task, while the rules of the game change and the clock ticks. You'll learn about effective teamwork, communication, and most importantly, about how to adapt a strategy to reach a goal.
HideDescription
Replicating the methodolgy CoalitionWILD uses in our flagship EXCELerator program, this fun and dynamic excercise, called "Replicating a Picasso," is designed by experts of the Conservation Measures Partnership.The game is fun, creative and competitive, and imparts key concepts of adaptive management and team communication. As a result, it's especially appropriate for a youth audience, creating a break in the otherwise more traditional Congress structure of PowerPoint presentations and panels. Adaptive management is one of the most important concepts in conservation and environmental problem-solving: it's a cyclical feedback process that involves measuring results, reviewing methods, and adapting action measures based on this process, in order to ensure actions are based on evidence of success and failure. The concepts learned in this short session are applicable to nearly any field that youth might be involved, from field-based conservation work, to environmental advocacy or education
