International Conferences & Missions
International Conferences: YRE gives youth who participate in the programme the opportunity to attend high-level environmental conferences around the world. Apart from attending inspiring sessions and networking with the other participants, the young reporters create in-depth journalistic pieces (articles, photos and videos), conduct interviews and make engaging posts for social media. The journalistic pieces are published on the YRE International page on Exposure. Have a look at the list below to see some of the previous and up-coming conferences.
YRE Missions: YRE also gives youth an opportunity to participate in national and/or international “Missions” organised by National Operators. During a multi-day workshop, students are gathered to learn about journalism, discover nature and environmental problems around them, and report about it through articles, videos and photography.
