June 12, 2022 marks the 30th anniversary of the International Model Forest Network (IMFN). This milestone anniversary provides a unique opportunity to highlight the successes that have come from within the Network, and look ahead to scaling up these lessons for even greater achievements together.

From June to December 2022, the IMFN Secretariat will run a multi-faceted, trilingual communications campaign to celebrate our individual and shared successes. We hope you will be inspired to engage with us, sending us your stories, video messages, nominees and milestones that will make this campaign shine.  In this newsletter, you will find a number of ways you can contribute to the campaign… and we REALLY hope you do!

The strength of the IMFN is being part of a broader movement. The IMFN Secretariat can amplify your message. We can support your efforts and help them be recognized.

How do you want to celebrate the IMFN’s 30th anniversary in your area? In your Model Forest? In your country or region? Let us know at imfn@imfn.net and we will work to profile, engage and make your initiatives a success.

Looking forward to collaborating on a compelling campaign that shines a spotlight on the great work we do! Read more here and here!
