on june 2, the planet forward team welcomed the 2024 summer seminar scholars to george washington university for an immersion in multimedia environmental storytelling. eight students from planet forward\u2019s pillar and 2022年世界杯亚洲预选赛结果 schools came to washington, d.c., for a week of hands-on learning in multimedia storytelling and mentoring by environmental media professionals, researchers, scholars, and leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
this year\u2019s summer seminar cohort is covering a wide range of environmental stories, from examining how a conservation organization is expanding how we care for both birds and people by including a wide range of backgrounds and expertise, to the experiences of a penguin researcher in antarctica who has documented climate change, to a carbon capture scientific innovation for water desalination plants, and a collaborative mapping tools for resilience in the global south. the enthusiasm these students share for the environment and for telling stories creatively is truly impressive. importantly, none are journalism students yet they are eager to tell stories to increase public understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cthese students are passionate about the planet and determined to raise their voices and have a positive impact,\u201d said frank sesno, founding director of planet forward. \u201cthey know that storytelling is a vital form of communication. it\u2019s incredibly gratifying to see them weave data, text, and media to tell compelling, creative, and memorable stories about important environmental issues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
