This session brought students together to learn how to tell climate stories that mattered. They explored ways to report environmental issues with credibility and empathy. They also learned how to turn complex data into relatable narratives that moved people.
They discovered how storytelling could drive real climate action. They saw how digital platforms like social media, podcasts, and videos could amplify their message. The goal was to help them build communication skills that inspired communities, encouraged responsibility, and turned awareness into action.
