Training
Combat Media Training
for Environmental Defenders.
Safe and positive media engagement for organizations working in Northern, rural, and Indigenous communities — built around emotional safety, narrative control, and collaborative advocacy.
The Training
Confidence for a harder media landscape.
Environmental and Indigenous advocates face a media environment that is increasingly aggressive, fast-moving, and easy to misuse. Combat Media training gives your team the skills to engage on your own terms — clearly, confidently, and without losing control of your message.
The workshop is designed for organizations whose members may have little formal media training but whose voices matter deeply to their communities and their causes. No experience required. High-pressure tactics not included.
Format
Presentation & Workshop
A structured but low-pressure session with plenty of time for questions, conversation, and practice in a supportive environment.
In-Person or Virtual
In-person attendance in Whitehorse is strongly encouraged. A virtual option is available for participants unable to attend in person.
Designed for Your Organization
Training can be tailored to the specific media challenges and contexts your organization faces — industry pressure, government relations, local media dynamics.
