The Environmental Reporting Collective are offering training grants for journalists and newsrooms to organise self-tailored training programmes for themselves, but which are also open to other ERC partner newsrooms and journalists.

Grantees will organise the training themselves, with assistance from the ERC Core Team.

We’re offering three grants with a total of US$2,500 each.

Applications will be open between 21 Oct and 20 Nov 2021 and the training programme should be conducted during the month of December 2021.
