EU and UNDP launch first programme on environmental journalism for Moldovan students

From October 2025 to May 2026, around 20 students from the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Sciences at Moldova State University will learn to write press materials on local environmental issues. 

The ‘Environmental Journalism’ training programme was launched with the support of the European Union and UNDP Moldova, in partnership with the Association of Environmental Journalists in Moldova.

The course will provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to produce engaging, high-quality media content that contributes to public awareness of environmental issues and informed dialogue on climate change, the environment, and sustainability.

“Strong environmental journalism is also essential for Moldova’s European integration. As Moldova moves forward on its EU accession path, the ability to ensure transparency, accountability, and open public dialogue becomes increasingly important,” said Franciska Flugt, Programme Manager at the European Union Delegation to the Republic of Moldova.

The training course will combine theoretical sessions, debates, lectures by experts, and practical field activities. At the same time, students will learn more about climate change, the circular economy, and sustainable development.
