Workshop

Report for the World, part of the GroundTruth Project, organised an investigative journalism workshop for their Latin American corps members.

The two-day event supported by Journalismfund Europe focused on local environmental stories with European and global angles. It took place on Dec 15-16, 2022, in São Paulo, Brazil.

The workshop was attended by Report for the World's Brazilian, Mexican and Peruvian newsroom partners,  covering the environment, migration, gender issues, health, corruption, and indigenous communities.

Award-winning journalists from Brazilian and European organisations shared their expertise with the participants to help them refine their story angles and gain knowledge of different facets of investigating environmental impact - from tracing supply chains and corruption to presenting scientific evidence and creating accountability among global audiences. Then the participating journalists elaborated on story ideas to explore the environmental impacts of projects in Latin America that involve European investments, development aid or cater to European consumers.  

Day one focused on creating local-global connections in environmental stories with solutions focused, diversity and intersectional lens. 

Day two included specific trainings on environmental reporting with ties to EU investments and on reporting Latin American stories for EU audiences. The second half of the day involved shaping the EU focused environmental story ideas that participants brought to the workshop. 

The key training sessions were recorded for current and future Report for the World corps members.
