Journalism Alongside An Environmental Grassroots NGO

Save to Favorites

This mentorship programme includes live participation in a variety of possible Latin American contexts - directly mentored by experienced journalists - in which the individual will be on the ground in Latin America (a number of placements available) researching and devising stories, in addition to developing, writing and submitting for publication. Candidates will emerge with high quality portfolios of published work as well as experienced directly relevant to pursuing freelance work or a career in Journalism, specifically focussed to the environment, or Latin America. Whilst in country, you will also assist with a range of environmental and community projects and initiatives in and around the city of Campeche, south-east Mexico. Along with several local key partner organisations, this year our projects are based around generating a truly integral and coherent vision of heritage which not only deals with historical landmarks but encompasses a progressive vision for the future of our city and community, with the essential values needed to grow an alliance between who we have been and who we hope to become. Placements will be individually tailored according to interests and existing experience in order to enable wide-ranging skill development and community engagement.
