The European project Erasmus+ Wonder Commonlands, of which ISEG is a partner, will hold, on 25, 26 and 30 June, its third webinar. The initiative will be dedicated to the specificities of commonlands as models of community management of natural resources, seeking to reconcile environmental conservation with the lives of the communities that depend upon them.
Several community spaces projects that are led by women will be presented, showing how they have managed to make the most of their resources by generating income, promoting generational renewal and halting depopulation.
Taking these good practices as a starting point, the strengths and weaknesses of the commonlandsapproach will be analysed, with the objective of developing stable economic activities and preparing some initial common proposals on how to regain the involvement of the community -- especially women and young people -- for the use of their resources.
Special attention will be paid to the obstacles women face when making decisions and when directly monitoring the management and use of resources, as well as determining the potential of their more active participation and the need to adapt management to a gender perspective.
