ROME - The project aims to strengthen a network of young Italian storytellers to improve coverage of the climate crisis and its impacts at the national level, as Italy is one of the places in the world that are most exposed to losses from extreme weather damage globally.
The project provides participants with state-of-the-art tools to strengthen their capacities to identify investigative topics and conduct in-depth research.
An in-person meeting is planned to strengthen ties between network members, improve the production of independent investigations, and amplify the impact of publications.
The call for participation was launched early October 2024, and closed by the 25 of October. 298 people have enrolled.
