Building Skills to recognise NbS and tell their stories
What was the idea about?
- Designing an NbS 101 Press Kit - a capacity building tool for NbS Hubs to promote communication with local journalists in native languages
- Delivering capacity building programme: Adapting the Press Kit to HU and organising a Masterclass on solution journalism & NbS 101 including NbS pitches
- It has been disseminated via NetworkNature (TFs, NbS Hubs, wider community) and regional/national channels (TeAM Hub)

Main objectives
- Incentivising local journalists to recognise & tell NbS stories through designing and delivering a capacity-building programme
- Promoting skills, methods and tools for solution journalism;
- Equipping them with essential NbS knowhow, vocabulary in native language, culturally sensitive to enhance comfort level;
- Building connections with NbS practitioners as “trusted sources”;
- Developing translation-ready components that can serve other NbS Hubs
How was it developed?
Outputs from other TF members:
- Built on the TF5 NbS Design Guide (to be developed within NbS EduWorld)
- Tested adaptability and provided inputs / feedback to the PressKit by future users
- NbS experts contributed to the Masterclass (HU language preferred)
- Workshop session for NbS Hubs to share outcomes & experience
