Welcome to the Young Reporters for the Environment Programme!

Thank you for the registration of your school to the programme.

 

 

Some of you have already chosen the theme of investigation that your group wishes to pursue. For those of you who haven't chosen your theme of investigation, it is important to do this as soon as possible so that your group can be 'twinned' with another Irish school or team researching a similar themed topic in a different area. These 'twinned' teams communicate, compare and discuss their findings with one another via email. Again the designated YRE themes are:
Waste, Energy, Coastline, Cities, Agriculture and Water

 

In order to help you with your choice of theme, I suggest that you choose a theme that is EASY to investigate locally or ideally, in the immediate area of the school. This way the students are not limited by lack of transport to take the initiative in considering the environmental area as thoroughly as possible.

Having chosen the theme for investigation, it is time for the group to write their first article. This article should serve as a preliminary investigation and should include the following information:

This article will then be posted on this Young Reporters website and available for public perusal.
