September 13, 2022 | 8:00 pm-9:30 pm ICT / 9:00 am-10:30 am EST

Simultaneous translation will be provided in English, Myanmar, Cambodian, and Thai.

Whether you’re a food or travel blogger, a seasoned environmental activist, or just someone who cares about our planet and wants to use social media to make an impact, this is the right place for you. 

The Pulitzer Center’s International Education and Outreach program is hosting training for Mekong social media influencers and content creators. You will learn about the importance of science in climate communication with a Pulitzer Center journalist who uses scientific research in his reporting. You’ll also hear from a few leading environmental activists who use social media as a tool to raise awareness of the climate crisis and environmental issues, such as Rob Greenfield, Isaias Hernandez, and Mafea Fuentes from the Amazon region. You’ll learn tips on how to best share knowledge on the climate crisis as well as identify opportunities for next-generation climate content creators! 

After the training, there will be a chance for you to join our #showmeyourtree Mekong influencers campaign. This is a first-of-its-kind campaign for content creators in the Mekong region to help build an emotive platform where authentic anecdotes/memories linked to our natural environment can be shared.

Agenda:
  • Why science is important in climate communicating
    Dan Grossman, Southeast Asia Rainforest Journalism Fund Advisory Committee Member
  • The overview of environmental/climate space in social media and opportunities for New Gen Climate Content Creators

  • Tips on using digital media to communicate environment/climate: Dos and don'ts, and how to deal with climate trolls

  • Using audience-centered communication to mobilize action around climate and social-environmental issues
    Flora Pereira, Pulitzer Center International Education and Outreach Program Director
    We will close the training with Flora who will be sharing outreach and communication strategies to identify and engage different audiences. The presentation will first bring key concepts of audience-centered communication and how that can help to mobilize action around climate and social-environmental issues. The second part of the presentation will bring communication ideas and impact approaches on how to connect with different audiences' values and motivations to inspire shifts in attitudes and behaviors.
