Green Media fellowship
Docskool’s Green Media fellowship is a 10-month specialised training and work site experience driven program for young climate defenders who are keen to explore visual media as part of their environmental campaigns. It is held in two equal stages of skill development and field-based practice conducted in coordination with several local partners.
The fellowship trains 10 young defenders providing advanced skills in visual media practice (film, Photography) with further topics including participatory community media, environment conservation and orientations on variety of social issues.
