ICFJ Networking
Our networking sessions are just that: informal meet-ups where you can introduce yourself, talk about your work, brainstorm, and find colleagues to collaborate with. Here is a chance to meet colleagues from Southeast Asia and learn about upcoming collaborative projects in the region. All sessions are first-come, first-serve. That means people who arrive first will get seats. Be aware that some sessions are in relatively small rooms and they will fill up quickly.

UNESCO & IMS: Climate Change Investigative Reporting Workshop
The workshop aims to present the UNESCO/IMS funded Environmental and Climate Change Media Reporting in South East Asia project, which has been both innovative and successful, and led to the creation of an online curriculum. Training included an in-person bootcamp in Indonesia in early August, with participants primarily from the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and East Timor. Six of the 13 participating newsrooms will attend GIJC as winners of the best strategy and idea for an investigative environment story pitch and collaboration. As part of its Climate Reporting Strategy IMS has also partnered with The Alliance of Independent Journalists from Indonesia to produce the first safety manual for journalists digging into environmental crimes. The manual will be presented at this workshop.
