Urban Journalism Academy

Co-organized with the Urban Journalism Institute

🎯 Description: 

The United Cities Local Governments (UCLG) and OnCities2030, through the Urban Journalism Institute, aim to join forces to increase the understanding and provide rigorous information about the local efforts towards achieving social, economic, and environmental sustainability as part of the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the implementation of the New Urban Agenda, and the commitment towards the climate action agenda.

As part of the Media for Cities Campaign, launched by OnCities2030 and UCLG in October 2022, the Urban Journalism Institute is initiating the Urban Journalism Academy Series. This initiative aims to empower trained journalists and communicators who can effectively communicate urban development to the general public and convey the positive impact of sustainable urban development in local communities. 

The Urban Journalism Academy Series will focus on activities to trigger the change in narrative that is necessary to translate complex variables into accessible information for citizens about sustainable urban development, the implementation of the SDGs and the New Urban Agenda by local and regional governments.
