Training and competition for journalists “Climate Change and Public Health”
 

Climate change is not a myth - Avoid heat, which can increase the risks of diseases and deaths!

On January 21-22, 2017, in Kakheti, NGO “EcoVision” organized the training for journalists on the following topic “Climate Change and Public Health.” The training was arranged within the framework of the regional project “Climate Forum East II.”  The local partner of the project is the Georgian Red Cross Society. The regional project is coordinated by the Austrian Red Cross. The project is financed by the EU and co-financed by the Austrian Development Agency and Austrian Red Cross.

The training was attended by up to 20 journalists from Tbilisi and regions. The meetings included presentations by specialists who are working in the fields of climate change and media. The following themes were presented during the training: “Climate change as a global problem and its adaptation ways," "Climate change and public health in Georgia," "Red Cross and climate change" and "Media coverage of climate change and public health issues ".

The training included theoretical lectures as well as practical work. Within the working groups, the journalists prepared media products on climate change and public health issue.

There was also held a discussion about different important issues related to climate change, such as legislative gaps, problems of journalists during the making of media products, the roles of media, government and society.

At the end of the training, the journalists were rewarded with certificates. Within this project, after trainings there was also announced a competition for media representatives from Georgia. 4 winners of the competition will be revealed and will be awarded with prizes.
