Applications are open for the AMWAJ Fellowship Programme for Journalists 2025. The AMWAJ Fellowship Programme for Journalists will give young professional journalists a boost in their early careers. They champion stories about sustainability and its derivative sub-themes of circular economy, ecosystem restoration, energy transition, sustainable mobility and water resources are what define our world today.
Since its launch in 2016, AMWAJ has championed new perspectives and stories on the challenges and opportunities around water and energy in the Mediterranean. The platform, which means “waves” in Arabic, continues to evolve with an ever-growing network of journalists, organisations, researchers, and policymakers who further our mission of providing quality content and effective communication.
AMWAJ believes in addressing the most pressing problems posed by human-induced climate change and in presenting and strengthening the solutions that are being advanced.
