The YRE method
Four steps from question to impact
Every YRE project follows the same proven journey, giving young reporters the skills to understand an issue and inspire change in their community.
1. Investigate
Research a local environmental issue and understand its causes and impact.
2. Propose solutions
Identify realistic solutions with your community, experts and decision-makers.
3. Report
Tell the story through articles, photographs, videos or podcasts.
4. Disseminate
Share your work widely to raise awareness and inspire action.
