Learning by doing: Young journalists in Environmental Investigative journalism in Finland

This project was an Environmental Investigative capacity-building opportunity for young journalists and aspiring journalists in Finland. The project aimed to do so through a two-day hybrid workshop and a 3 month-long mentoring. At the workshop, attendees were trained on the broader socio-environmental crisis affecting Finland and the EU. Knowledge sharing apprehended how to find sources, collect data, build a story, pitch and publish, connect to peers in the field, etc. After that, attendees were mentored and supported to publish their work in different media outlets. The priority outcome was to get 10-15 young journalists trained and mentored to produce relevant environmental investigative journalism.
