School of Environmental Communication 2024: Conversations to empower citizenship

Online
In person: Palacio Miramar Jauregia. Donostia/San Sebastián

The sixth edition of the Environmental Communication School already has a date: it will be held on 12 September 2024 at the Miramar Palace, in San Sebastian. The conference may also be followed online.

The event is organised by the Association of Environmental Information Journalists-APIA and the Public Society for Environmental Management of the Basque Government, Ihobe, within the framework of the Summer Courses of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and the Donostia Sustainability Forum, it will focus on the empowerment of citizens in the face of the climate crisis and other environmental challenges.

The main goal of this edition is to provide a space for reflection and offer key insights on the loss of biodiversity, the conservation of the natural environment, the implementation of the circular economy, and sustainable development. To this end, the School is transforming and evolving the event into a format of inspiring conversations with professionals who are contributing to advancing the energy and climate transition and changing the narrative to communicate on environmental issues more and better.

These talks are completed by two practical experiences: a boat visit to the island of Santa Clara and Hondalea, for those attending the in-person event; and a Climate Mural co-creation workshop for those attending online.
