Young Reporters for the Environment

Young Reporters for the Environment (YRE) is a network of international youth engaged in education for sustainable development. The goal of YRE is to engage youth in resolving environmental issues.

Young Reporters aged between 11 and 25, investigate environmental problems and issues and propose solutions through published investigative reporting, photographic and video journalism. YRE also enables participants to develop skills and expand their knowledge. For instance, as well as gaining a deeper understanding of sustainable development, the programme teaches or enhances communication and citizenship skills, individual initiative, teamwork, critical analysis, social responsibility and leadership.

There are three categories of 11-14, 15-18 and 19-25 and within each age category there are three format categories:

Written entries must be no more than 1,000 words and can contain photos and illustrations

Filmed entries must be no more than 3 minutes long preferably in a news report style

Photographic entries can be a single photo or a series of three to five photos which tell a story
