The third meeting of the GreenLens: Environmental and Climate Journalism Training Project, coordinated by Anadolu Agency (AA), with the Ankara University National Center for the Sea and Maritime Law (DEHUKAM) as a partner, was held in Bucharest, Romania, from 6 to 8 October 2026. The meeting took place at the International Maarif School Campus and was attended by Süleyman Önel, Chair of the Board of Directors; Dr. Adnan Menderes Aydın, COO; and Dr. Hakan Koçak, Senior Researcher.

The project aims to raise awareness among young people and strengthen the capacities of young media professionals through training on environmental issues, climate change, media and news production. Supported by the European Union and the Turkish National Agency, the project is coordinated by Anadolu Agency in partnership with DEHUKAM, Station de Jeunesse from France, Institut POLIS from North Macedonia, and Editura Eruysal SRL from Romania.

During the three-day meeting, participants shared feedback on the GreenLens training programmes held in Ankara and Istanbul and reviewed the project’s progress and outputs, including the training module, e-book and learning management system (LMS). Discussions also addressed dissemination strategies, the visibility plan, preparations for the environmental forum and a roadmap for upcoming activities.

To date, four training programmes have been completed, reaching a total of 100 national and international media professionals and students.
