JOIN UNIQUE GLOBAL TRAINING | OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS
GRASSROOTS India
14-24 April 2026 | Turin, Italy
The Grassroots Institute (Canada), International University College of Turin (Italy), Yaroslav Mudriy National Law University (Ukraine) and Uzhgorod National University (Ukraine) are co-organizing “Global Academy (Hybrid) on Natural Resource Law & Governance 2026” (GA-NRL 2026) at Torino/Italy for 45 in-person Delegate Participants and for a 300 (virtual) Speaker Participants. Full details of the program are online at the website https://www.grassrootsglobal.net/ga26/
GA-NRL 2026 is to build perspectives and capacities of law graduates, young teachers, policy researchers, practitioners, professionals, policy workers and future leaders on natural resources law, sustainable development, environmental policy and resource governance, and linking world’s sustainability by integrating principles of globally important solutions and governance perspectives.
This 10-days global training course examines the linkages between natural resources and legal instruments, legal tenets of managing natural resources, and governing the resources for sustainable conservation. Depicting on case studies and case laws from a wide range of the current natural resources across the globe, the course considers how different social, political, economic and gender aspects influence the legal implications surrounding the natural resources. The course also examines how environmental activists and their interventions conserved parks, water, forests and land in the face of the commercial threats from extractive industries and destructive projects. The course will consider how the current international and development system elaborates and processes to sustainably manage the available natural resources. The course aims at equipping lawyers, researchers, students, practitioners, professionals and teachers seeking refined knowledge and skills for meeting the challenges of sustainable use of natural resources globally. This 10-days international training program will be executed in partnership and collaboration with various academic and practice-oriented organizations. The course will take place in Turin (Italy) by streamlining a fine and competent expertise of African, European, Asian, North American, South American and Pacific region professors, lawyers, researchers and activists.
This international training program is a hybrid of training and symposium modes. It will consist of moderation and facilitation by the International Faculties side by side the short lectures by Delegate Participants. The participants or delegates will not act as mute listeners or learners, but they will be given at least 50% time to speak and present their papers and articles through oral presentations using appropriate (audio-visual) aids. Such a hybrid combination (model) of capacity building rarely exists in scientific domains. Unlike conventional conferences, symposium or seminars, this innovative program will NOT conduct parallel sessions; instead, all sessions will operate in one lecture hall where all participants/delegates will listen and attend all faculty members and all delegate/participant speakers.
Structure of the Program
The proposed program will constitute following 10 thematic groups to be executed on 10 different days:
Day 1 [14 April 2026]: Principles of Natural Resources, Policy and Governance
Day 2 [15 April 2026]: Laws & Governance of Land Resources
Day 3 [16 April 2026]: Agrarian and Agriculture Laws & Policies

CALL FOR INSTRUCTORS AND NEW COURSE DIRECTORS
Become Instructors for short courses | https://tgiversity.org
Our model of innovative online education is inevitably collaborative and cooperative. It means multiple partners and collaborators, and multiple instructors. We have one Academic Instructor for each Module of the syllabus. For example, in the P-001 course, there are 3 Modules of teaching, so there will be 3 Academic Instructors and 6 Field Practitioners. Thus, each Module will comprise 1 Academic Instructor and 2 Field Practitioners. We are inviting the competent potential Academic Instructors for the following modules:
Course W-001 Module 1: Water Science, Principles and Technologies
Course M-001 Module 1: Mountain Ecosystems, Climate Change and Local Communities
Course M-001 Module 2: Mountain Forest & Biodiversity Management
Course M-002 Module 2: Mountain Economies and Sustainability
Course E-001 Module 1: Renewable Energy Systems and Economics
Course E-001 Module 2: Renewable Energy Transition and Transformation
Course E-001 Module 3: Challenges of Energy Transition in Developing Societies
The exact dates of the two short courses are given on its respective web pages. Proposals for new courses are INVITED.
