Event Description
- Full Description:
- This week the Sustainable Minerals Institute will host a seminar presented by Armando de la Flor Olavide and Lynda Lawson from the Centre for Social Responsibility at SMI, on 'Building capacity in university staff: Training the trainer at the University of San Marcos in Peru.' This seminar will reflect on a training event held in Peru this year. It was designed to equip academic staff from geology and engineering disciplines at the National University of San Marcos, with the knowledge, skills and materials to teach extractive industry professionals about the importance of obtaining community and social consensus. CSRM materials were provided and adapted to the Peruvian context with the assistance of local experts. A 3 day teacher training and coaching program enabled the lecturers to teach a week long course to industry, government, CSOs and students. The course was well received and there was interest in furthering this approach to knowledge transfer, which contrasts with traditional conference or foreign expert led presentations.
Armando has an Advanced Master in Development Practice degree with specialization in Planning for Social Development, from The University of Queensland. He also has a Law and Human Sciences degree by the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP), with specializations in Social-Environmental Conflict Resolutions and Negotiation by the Centre of Arbitration and Conflict Resolutions (CARC-PUCP), and Social Development by the Technological Institute of Monterrey (ITM- Mexico).
Lynda Lawson is a Manager (Training and Knowledge Transfer) at the Centre for Social Responsibility in Mining at the University of Queensland. She has extensive experience designing and delivering training programs for industry and government. A growing area of her expertise is in the assessment of the training needs of government and civil society staff involved in resource extraction and the design of programs to meet those training needs. She has designed, developed, and facilitated complex long and short training courses in a wide range of international locations.
