    Hello! I'm Mai Hoang, freelance journalist, Climate Tracker member from Vietnam, and...

    Welcome to Climate Tracker's first Train-the-Trainer course! 

    So excited to have you here. As mentioned on the course landing page, this course has been designed to cover most basic journalism skills—pitching, article-framing, interviewing, data visualization, and more—in the context of human-interest climate journalism. 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.

    The materials are thus divided into 3 sections: 

    1. Skills Training: Climate Journalism Staples

    2. Content Training: Making the Climate-human Link

    3. Logistics: Planning the Workshop

    As the course's instructor, I will walk you through most of the presentations in this course—except for those on Data Visualization (lecture 8) narrated by Chris Wright. However, the materials we'll be using is a compilation of many many Climate Tracker staff's brainchild—Ignacio Amigo, Dizzanne Billy, Chris Wright, Anna Perez Catala, Arthur Wyns and more. I would like to thank all of them for the incredible content.

    So with that, watch this short intro video to know more about Climate Tracker and this course! 

Requirements

  • Basic understanding of journalism concepts.

Description

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.
