Good news for all aspiring Climate Journalists and communicators out there! Climate Tracker is setting up a global series of journalism workshops, bringing international media experts and scientists to the table to teach you about the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ of publishing on climate change issues. Series of workshops will take place in Southeast Asia, South Asia, Africa, and Latin America this August to September! The global workshops aim to build the skills and knowledge of young journalists and young climate advocates on journalism and climate change. The workshops aim to prepare journalists to cover COP 23 negotiations and issues which will happen in November. The workshops will be in the Philippines for Southeast Asia, Indonesia (for Indonesians only), Ethiopia for Africa, and Peru for Latin America.
The workshop in Addis Ababa will hold at the end of August.
