The
CGIAR Platform for Big
Data in Agriculture is
now accepting
applications for the
2020 Youth in Data
Digital Bootcamp!
***
Join
up to 100 delegates from
around the world to
learn about digital
agriculture and how to
apply effective
communication for
impact. Participants
will also have the
chance to participate in
the global convention
Digital Dynamism for
Adaptive Food Systems,
21-23 October, which
will examine how digital
tools and technology can
help (re)build better
food systems in times of
global food security
crises.
The
aim of the workshop is
to help young people
engage with the
opportunities that
digital agriculture
holds for the future of
food security. They will
also learn about the
impact of communicating
effectively about
science, and about how
to use digital media to
increase that impact.
On
19-20 October,
participants will learn
the basics of digital
agriculture, social
media, interviewing,
blog writing, and other
media skills. After the
two-day workshop, they
will put their
newly-acquired skills
into action at the
virtual 2020 Platform
convention, where they
will engage with the
communications team via
live-tweeting,
interviewing speakers
and experts in the
field, blog writing and
more.
This
workshop is suitable for
young people aged 18-35.
They might be working or
studying in science or
media—or they might
simply be interested in
learning more about
reporting on digital
agriculture!
At the end of the
bootcamp, delegates will
have learned–and had the
opportunity to
apply–invaluable
communication skills,
and will also have made
invaluable connections
with leaders in the
field of research and
development for food
security.
