We selected 12 talented journalists as the newest members of the Arena community.
They are: Jade Wilson (Ireland), Adina Florea (Romania), Mariana Verbovska (Ukraine), Marta Frigerio (Italy), Johnny Minor Mørup (Denmark), Steffie Banatvala (UK), Jonathan Moens (Italy), Fernanda Seavon (Portugal), Danai Sofia Vardali (Greece), Aleksa Tešić (Serbia), Lisa Kuner (Germany), and Agatha Allain (France).
On 12-13 September, in Bratislava, Slovakia, this cohort came together to get to know each other, receive an overview of cross-border, collaborative journalism practice from Arena’s expert trainers, and generate ideas for climate investigations which aim for multi-national impact. They then attended the Climate Arena Conference in Budapest.
The fellows will now co-design and produce these investigations together, receiving mentorship from the Arena team.
“I had a wonderful time meeting other kind and talented journalists to discuss how we can do some compelling climate reporting. We worked together, shared ideas, and came out of it feeling like we had an interesting climate investigative project that we could work towards — as well as some new friends.” – Jonathan Moens, freelance Italian journalist
