Forestry communication and digital media: Learn, practice and grow

This two-day communication workshop will guide participants on how to use social and digital media more effectively to communicate on forestry issues. Open to youth, young professional and seasoned professional forestry experts and communicators, participants will practise with digital media products and tools, with support from more seasoned communicators.

Organized and facilitated by the Finnish Forest Association and the Regional Forest Communicators Networks, the workshop will focus on ‘what works’ in using social and digital media to communicate on forestry/environment/land use sectors – especially in the context of an event such as the Congress. It will be facilitated as an interactive peer-to-peer event where participants share, review and learn insights from successful digital communication examples. Throughout the week, workshop participants can continue to use their media skills to report on highlights and events each day.

This training is a sequel to the Digital and Social Media Lab for social media reporters that was held online on 31 March and 1 April 2022.
