Organizing Committee
The theme of the 2019 International Day of Forests is "Forest and
Education". This theme will be one of the five key topics to be discussed at
a scientific symposium on 21-23 March as part of the 2019 World Wood Day
celebrations in Stübing, Austria.
The symposium "CHANGE from tradition to innovation" is jointly organized
by IAWA, IAWS and IUFRO. Sandra Rodríguez-Pineros from the Universidad
Autónoma de Chihuahua, Mexico, and Coordinator of the Joint IUFRO-IFSA Task
Force on Forest Education, will deliver a keynote speech on "Education an
essential tool for forest sustainability and wood utilization". Other
symposium topics are proper tree species identification and illegal timber
use, wooden buildings, wood-based musical instruments, and non-wood
products.
World Wood Day is an annual event to celebrate the importance of wood,
demonstrate the beauty of wood, and share the knowledge about wood. This
year's celebrations will take place under the motto "CHANGE". A variety of
programs such as woodcraft activities, folk art workshops and events for
children will be organized for the public with free admission.
The 2019 WWD event in Austria is jointly organized by the World Wood Day
Foundation (WWDF) and the International Wood Culture Society (IWCS). The
event will bring more than 500 participants from over 90 countries and
regions from around the world to the Austrian Open Air Stübing and Graz.
