Why take this course?
Climate Tracker conceived our Train-the-Trainer initiative in order to:
- Convert our workshop resources into replicable modules.
- Empower qualified journalists to deliver trainings on key climate journalism topics.
- Establish a certification process for journalists who wish to be hired as speakers/trainers/facilitators.
With the current surge in wildfires, cyclones, and infectious diseases, a key topic for journalists to understand in this year and beyond is how to highlight the human-interest story behind climate change.
This course has been designed to cover most basic journalism skills—pitching, article-framing, interviewing, data visualization, and more—through a climate & humans lens.
In addition to helping you become an effective trainer, we also have modules that deal with the logistics of holding a workshop, offline or online.
