Fully Paid Workshop for Egyptian Journalists on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in Egypt

Africa21 is inviting Egyptians journalists to participate in its Workshop held in Egypt From June 5 to June 12 on biodiversity and ecosystem services. The workshop will be held in Hurghada which is located at the edge of the Red Sea, a hub for biodiversity in Egypt. If you are a journalist based in Egypt, with 5 years of experience in the field and a genuine interest in sustainable development and climate change issues, you can apply

Workshop Theme:-

• The worldwide health crisis linked to Covid-19 reminds us of the fragility and dependence of human beings on nature. In the latest IPBES report, the figures given by scientists are frightening: one million animal and plant species are threatened with extinction. In another report released in the fall of 2020, they clearly linked the biodiversity crisis to the Covid-19 crisis.
• This is why Africa 21 and its partners have selected the theme of « biodiversity and ecosystem services » as the central theme for the work of the African Journalists Network on Sustainable Development and Climate Change.

Workshop Programme:-

• 15 Egyptian journalists from the country’s main media (print, radio, TV, news agency) will be invited to participate in this event, together with many international experts and partners.
• In parallel to the event, a journalistic competition is organized on the theme of biodiversity and ecosystem services in Egypt.
