 * Training of trainers (ToT) on Environmental Journalism concluded

A Week-long training of trainers (ToT) on environmental Journalism concluded in
Kabul… Mediothek Afghanistan in partnership with The Liaison Office and Heinrich
Böll Foundation organized a week long advanced training of trainers (ToT)
entitled “Training Workshop on Environment, Natural Resources and Climate
Change” from 17th through 21st of May 2021 in Kabul. The training was attended
by more than 30 young and active journalists from leading media outlets from
Kabul and six other provinces. The young trainees, who are active journalists,
successfully completed the week-long training which started each day at 8:30
A.M. and ended at 4:00 P.M. each day. The training was conducted by an
experienced environmental expert and lecturer of environmental sciences in Kabul
University, Associate Professor Mustafa Hassany. The training was organized
within the framework Mediothek Eco-Journalist Network’s expanding activities.
The Eco-Journalist Network is dedicated to mobilizing and training environmental
journalists and raising public awareness and it is supported by TLO and Heinrich
Böll Foundation and managed by Mediothek Afghanistan. The main and core
objectives of the training of trainers (ToT) included the following: • Raising
journalists’ awareness of environmental issues, natural resources, climate
change and its causes and consequences, • Equipping journalists to reflect on
national and local challenges and possible solutions through accurate and
professional reporting, • Enhancing environmental reporting skills through
practical work and assignments, • Facilitating sharing of experiences and
perspectives among participants, • Teaching practical ways to equip participants
to run and manage similar workshops for other reporters or learning teaching and
training workshop methodology • Learning techniques of raising public awareness
through environmental journalism “We are planning to expand the Eco-Journalist’s
Network to six more provinces’ said Abdullah Rasuly, Mediothek Program
Coordinator, speaking at the launch of the training”. The network has already
has expanded its reach beyond Kabul, according to Mr. Rasuly and has started
partnerships and signed MoUs with local media organizations in provinces as an
effort to mobilize media and journalists to work together on environment and
public awareness. Siddiqullah Tauhidi of the Afghan Journalists Safety
Committee, speaking during the launching ceremony of the training, encouraged
the trainees to take active part in the training and make most of their time
during the one week, saying that the environmental challenges in the country are
way more dire and acute than the devastating war and conflict in the county. The
world is threatened by environmental challenges, he said, and Afghanistan is
particularly vulnerable and at risk and sadly no one pays attention to these
challenges. Danish Karokhel, director of Pajhwok Afghan News, addressing the
trainees at the launch event, hailed Mediothek Afghanistan for its work and the
journalists for their commitments and dedication. “Most media and news reports
are focused on security related incidents,” said Mr. Karokhel, “we are living in
difficult times, but the fact is that environmental challenges are true and
reporting on these challenges is very valuable and needed.” We are speeding
towards environmental catastrophes due to our lack of attention to the challenge
we face, Mr. Karokhel warned. We must work together and raise our voices so that
these challenges are taken seriously by authorities and the public alike. Mr.
Karokhel invited the young journalists and encouraged them to be creative in
their work and reporting on environmental issues. “Report on the work of the
local heroes who are working on preserving the natural environment,” he asked
the participating journalists “so that people learn about the works these
selfless heroes are doing and get encouragement from their work.” Also speaking
at the opening of the ToT, a representative of TLO, Mr. Saser Nazari, talked
about TLO and HBS’ work on environmental preservation and activism, adding that
supporting activities of the Eco-Journalists’ Network of Mediothek is a part our
expanding work on environmental preservation and environmental journalism. Mr.
Nazari added that he expects the journalists from the provinces who participated
in the workshop to organize effective environmental training programs and share
what they will learn here with their peers, co-workers and other local
journalists and help local journalists and media shift their focus to
environment related issues. Creating sections dedicated to environmental issues
in each media organization, according to Mr. Nazari, is a must and a necessity
and you could be the one who could create such sections in your and other media
outlets. The Eco-Journalists’ Network was established by Mediothek Afghanistan
in 20218 with the support of TLO in Kabul. And has organized dozens of
specialized training workshops, events, meetings and coordination in Kabul and
provinces. This training of trainers will be followed by similar training
workshops across seven provinces, and training more than 120 journalists on
environmental journalism, natural resources and climate change related topics.
Expected results: Participants were able to learn basic concepts of environment,
natural resources, and climate change along with their challenges and solutions,
in view of the country’s conditions. • Participants learned the skills of
analyzing and writing environmental reports, • Participants shared their
experiences and views with each other through group-work and other practical
activities during the workshop, • Participants gained access to rich educational
and training resources for sustainable use, • Participants learnt training
methodology and were equipped with tools of conducting similar training for
other journalists and anyone interested. Teaching method: The teaching method of
the training was participatory and student-oriented, and considering the age of
the participants, it was based on the principle of adult education and learning.
The instructor and facilitator used a variety of methods to facilitate the
workshop, including presentation, group discussion, brainstorming, skill
improvement exercises, and group work to name some. For better learning during
the training workshop questioning were used to incite brainstorming at the
beginning of each secession. In addition, at the beginning of new secession,
previous lessons were evaluated using reflection methods. Without exception, all
the participants evaluated the training very effective and practical. An
analysis of written feedback and pre-training and post-training assessment of
participant’s knowledge clearly showed improvement in the basic knowledge of
participants about key environmental topics such as climate change and natural
resources and more. The assessment showed that the training was useful and
educational and practical. It is worth noting that a session on the last day of
the training was devoted to individual planning for the members of the network,
who are required to plan their work well . Similarly, guests were also invited
on the concluding day of the training including Mr. Ezatullah Siddiqi, deputy
head of the National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA) and Mr. Tawab
Stanekzai, a representative of TLO. In his remarks, the deputy head of NEPA
stressed the importance of journalists’ work in raising public awareness about
environment and environmental topics and hailed Meditohek Afghanistan and the
Liaison Office (TLO) for providing the opportunity to train such a large group
of journalists in a very crucial topic. The event concluded with the
distribution of certificates.
