How to Apply  

If you're a farmer or grower, this is where you can put yourself forward for one of our fully-funded media education workshops.

 

How to apply

We ask everyone to fill out our questionnaire so that we can learn about you and your farm, your thoughts on working with the media and what you hope to get out of the training we provide.

Download the form using the 'Download Questionnaire' button, fill it in and email it to emily@justfarmers.org.

Successful applicants will join us for two fully-funded media education workshops, the aim is to improve your understanding of how the media works and what journalists need to do their job.

Together we explore the relationship between the public and the media; learn what the media wants by developing your news sense and editorial judgement, and do interview exercises, story-pitching sessions, and Q&As with guest journalists. Practical elements include introductions to TV, Radio, Podcasting, Writing, Filming on Your Phone and Social Media. (Please see our FAQs page for more information.)

Our workshops are run by media professionals who still work within the industry and have a connection to agriculture. 

The workshops are fully funded by Just Farmers, the only cost to our farmers is your time - two days for each workshop (four in total) - and your travel there and back. We hope you feel inspired to join us!
