23-0000548_Creating impactful visual stories about agriculture in the time of a climate crisis 23-0000548_The NOOR intensive professional programme, led by NOOR mentors and a second professional mentor selected in the region, will enable a limited selection of early-stage photojournalists and image makers to develop their journalistic, investigative skills and visual mastery to produce impactful visual stories around the climate crisis with a particular attention to agricultural practices, challenges, issues and probable solutions within the regional context. The photojournalistic work produced by the candidates will be showcased during the SARA conference (biggest agricultural conference in West Africa taking place in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire) for which the Netherlands is country of honor this years’ 6th edition. Moreover, a final closing event showcasing the works will act as a platform for further discussion, and provides a valuable context for various policy makers to discuss the challenges presented with the photojournalistic work.
