Water in Communications Workshops

Registration for the Water in Communications workshops is open. The workshops are organized by Stockholm International Water Institute (SIW) and run from 4 to 27 June 2024. Registration is free.

Water has never been a more pressing and relevant issue. Which is why it’s never been more important to communicate about water. Since the Water in Communications programme launched in 2021, more than 1,000 journalists and communicators have participated in the series of training workshops that serve as a prelude to, and integral part of, World Water Week.  

The free online workshops seek to improve the accuracy, intensity, and quality of reporting and storytelling on water, thereby broadening awareness about water issues and climate change. They provide inspirational keynote presentations and discussions to give participants the knowledge and skills needed to broaden their reach and empower people to make better decisions about water.  

This year’s programme highlights include: 

• A deep dive into the theme of World Water Week 2024: Bridging Borders: Water for a Peaceful and Sustainable Future including sessions on human security and water diplomacy. 

• Interactive masterclass session with Anders Sahlman, Science Communicator, and Presentation Coach. 

• Several sessions on representation, how to decolonize visual communications, and strengthen the voice of women. 

For the first time, all sessions will be simultaneously translated into Spanish.  All workshop sessions are recorded to ensure everyone can watch (or re-watch) the training programme when convenient.   

The 2024 Water in Communications programme will run on selected dates from 4 to 27 June 2024, starting at CEST 2pm, with sessions held on Zoom.
