| Goals and Objectives |
| Overall Goal |
|
Assist in the training of environmental journalism principles to secondary school students through providing tools that can be applied to practical journalism projects. In all, teach students to communicate their investigations to the public |
| Specific Objectives |
|
Build a network of schools that can share their projects and experiences in writing environmental journalistic pieces. |

| National Level Activities |
|
Assisted by a teachers team, students carry out a journalistic inquiry about a local environmental issue, with a multidisciplinary approach (with an environmental - economic - social - scientific view). Possible activities for the Young reporters are documentation, field visits, interviews, writing of articles, photos. Their goal is to inform the local public in a journalistic way, with any media (local newspaper, radio or TV, conference, exhibition, school magazine…).
YRE provides tools to help teachers set up these projects, and also provides a web site where the project results can be disseminated. |
| International-Level Activities |
|
International activities include the national activities, but in addition, aims at developing international cooperation with other young reporters of other countries. The ambition is to enrich ones local investigation with data, inputs, information, photos etc. coming form another country. |
