I got a lot out of the course, including being part of the PAWS platform, on which continuingly new information, webinars and podcasts are added. It tis a dynamic website. I missed practical exercises, for example a case put on and being analyzed. Or some questions to answer. It is a free and pure on own "drive" course. A lot of extra reading material was given, which were sometimes to much for me but it is good to have the references. Some is really basic information, especially on the veterinarian part. I personally believe the Veterinarians are having such a big task and doing things that the keepers/ senior keepers and curators need to do. But for sure a team effort and monitored by the veterinarians. Due to the very busy schedule of the vets team, things go slow, while I think if the keepers are being more trained on certain aspects, some pressure of the vet team is taken away and things will be better maintained and more consistent. The presentation style is good, although a bit monotone or repetitive word usage. I am happy to have done the course and be part of the PAWS platform. And I recommend to any keeper especially beginners.
A delightful and positive way to interact, connect with and learn from people concerned about animal welfare.
The PAWS platform takes you on an amazing journey through animal welfare. It gives a broad picture of the current animal welfare science situations.
Sabrina and the PAWS team have done a wonderful job organizing informative, cutting edge content about animal behavior and welfare and making it accessible to a broad audience. The diversity of resources is a huge plus of the platform and I expect makes the content useful to many different types of scholars and practitioners.
I appreciate the PAWS-Network as the only Community with a focus on european working situation and topics, but never the less sharing global tasks and research-results.
The course Is really interesting. All the concepts of animal welfare have been introduced in a clear and well-defined way.
Being a very empathic person, I realised that I need to take more notice of my own feelings and emotions before caring for others sometimes.
Today was really interesting and engaging and I enjoyed the time I spent in the call. All of the questions were answered in a helpful way and helped to give me an idea of how to approach future roles and how to prepare for them too.
Very fascinating, with a lot of information. Good to know about animal welfare as well as welfare in people and how to improve it.
