LPN Environmental Journalism Week Sessions — Online and In-Person in Portugal

Liga para a Protecção da Natureza (LPN) is the oldest environmental NGO on the Iberian Peninsula in Portugal and has been dedicated to nature conservation ever since its creation in 1948. With a strong technical and scientific background, our history is strongly intertwined with some of the main milestones in the history of environmental protection and activism in Portugal.

With the Environmental Journalism Week, May 23-27, 2022 inclusive, Liga para a Protecção da Natureza seeks to give stage to emerging themes, constructive discussions and speakers who excel in good practices of information. From investigation to information, passing through formats such as photojournalism and reportage, we will have 5 days marked by the quality of the media of national scope, by those who live from such an important regional or local close connection, and by international personalities.

The initiative will also be an opportunity for academic enrichment, with partnerships planned with the main higher education institutions and programmes dedicated to the training of journalists and communication professionals, especially in the Lisbon region.

In-person and online sessions during the Week will take place in the afternoon of each day, between 2:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. (WET) / 6:30-9:00 p.m. EDT, except for the first and last day, which will include the opening and closing sessions, respectively.

• Agenda. Note: SEJ board president Sadie Babits will be a keynote speaker on May 23 at 2:30 p.m. WET / 6:30 p.m. EDT.
• Media kit
• Registration (free for all)

The Environmental Journalism Week is the first event of its kind in Portugal and is exclusively dedicated to the specialized communication of environment-related issues.
