An e-learning course for journalists to improve the reporting skills in the field of climate change: this is the goal of the project developed by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and COPEAM. This free professional training will be open to journalists coming from the Mediterranean partner countries and Balkan countries and will be available in English and Arabic on the didactic platform of the International Telematic University Uninettuno, partner of the project.
This new joint initiative comes after four years of collaboration between COPEAM and the EIB aimed at raising the awareness of the information professionals about the current environmental and climate challenges and at increasing the reporting skills in this field.
The training is open to journalists coming from the Balkans, the MENA and the Gulf regions who meet the following criteria:
- Working as professional journalists or having completed higher education studies in the field;
- Being based in the MENA region, the Balkans or the Gulf;
- With a very good level of English;
