CEMCA and UNESCO raise climate change awareness

Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia is collaborating with UNESCO on two unique initiatives: a Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Fellowship and a Curriculum on Climate Change for Community Radio (CR) Broadcasters. The fellowship allows CR broadcasters to highlight newsworthy and under-reported grassroots stories related to the SDGs.

The content-creation process is participatory. The SDG Fellows contribute to the curriculum, which is designed to fill the gap in structured learning programmes for people working in community radio. The SDG Fellows will be trained to use storytelling as a compelling medium to increase communities’ awareness of climate change and how to take effective action.
