At Climate Arena, we want to bring together individuals and teams who want to work across borders on a climate related story and need help from Arena for Journalism in Europe (That help might include finding others also seeking partners.)
We have a fellowship opportunity for those who have a cross-border and investigative climate story idea and are eager to work in a team setting.
We received more than 100 applications for our third cohort. We selected 14 fellows to join us in Bologna and become part of the Arena community.
They are: Alex Katsomitros (Greece), Alexenia Dimitrova (Bulgaria), Axelle Playoust-Braure (France), Charlotte Teunis (Belgium), Daniel Shailer (UK), Kate Balding (UK), Lasse Edfast (Sweden), Leoni Bender (Germany), Marta Vidal (Portugal), Peter Yeung (France), Thomas Simon Mattia (Italy), Vittoria Torsello (Italy), Ana Curic (Serbia), and Sarah Hartley (UK).
The fellows will join us at the Climate Arena conference in Bologna where they’ll attend a full-day workshop on 17 October 2024 and participate in the conference on 18 and 19 October.
Following the conference, they will continue receiving mentoring and training right up to publication time. They will have the opportunity to set up teams, receive a working grant and tailor-made mentorship to help them succeed in their story.
