1-day Environmental Training Workshop for Journalists
As one of the activities celebrating the launching of the Project, a complimentary training workshop tailor-made for journalists has been organized on 18 June 2011 in the Kadoorie Institute Shek Kong Centre. The workshop has been organized with the view that contemporary environmental issues are getting more complicated and technical to be articulated to the public at large and we hope that the workshop can equip the journalists with the latest and important understandings on environmental conservation.
