RTS West of England offered a free editorial training workshop, given by Bafta’s Albert scheme, at the new BBC Studios building in Bristol in early July.
It highlighted ways to create content that supports an environmentally sustainable society.
Albert sustainability trainer and consultant Frankie Singler started proceedings with an overview of Albert and set the context of challenges raised by climate change. He then delved into “Planet placement”, an Albert campaign that provides practical guidance on how to incorporate climate change issues and sustainability into programme-making.
Singler shared case studies and encouraged discussion, with a view to achieving more and better climate storytelling across all genres.
The session ended with pledges on how participants would incorporate sustainable principles into their home and work life.
