Latin America and Northern Europe Interregional Call

On Feb 27, 2022, the regions of Latin America and Northern Europe met together on a video call to get to know each other, learn about each other’s culture, forestry, food, and even forest management!

Thanks to the organization of the Regional Representatives from both regions (Carl and Johanna from Northern Europe, Steve and Benjamin from Latin America), up to 27 people from both regions joined, and managed to enjoy a small icebreaker in breakout rooms, where they discussed similarities and differences and also got to know new people from a different region.

Afterwards, Northern Europe gave a presentation about the region, sharing information, from IFSA to all the different foods and forestry in Sweden. Then Latin America’s turn came, also sharing how the region has been doing in IFSA, culture, and how some countries manage their forest inside the region.

Quiz winner

Once both presentations finished, a small quiz took place, with questions about each region, and the winner was Pepijn from The Netherlands.

People had a good time interacting with IFSA members and also leaning about nature, tree species, and forests across Northern Europe and Latin America.
