The program will bring together about a dozen journalists from around the world for a two-week, practical program focusing upon the importance of environmental coverage.

The course is part of a program run by RF instructors in centers throughout the world. Full-time journalists or regular contributors to newspapers, news agencies, magazines and radio or television based in any country may apply. Applicants must speak and write English.
