What is ‘Creative Eco-Journalism Initiative’
A multimedia journalism project focusing on social and climate issues, merging investigative research with creative storytelling and artistic expression.
Why I am pursuing this project (My why)
- I am a ‘Facilitator’ personality type person with strong ‘innovator’ business potential.
- I’m super passionate about being an environmental advocate, exploring history, food, and art. I’m really good at discussing social and climate issues as an environmental journalist. So, I’ve decided to use my creativity and persistence to work on a project that promotes learning about the environment, hoping it’ll help build a more peaceful and sustainable world..
