🌿 Some serious waves in the eco-world were made during our last team trip November 11-21st 2024! Mainly sharing enviro-social inspiration, serving with creative content and getting our hands dirty 🌊
The Creative Green Adventure brought together 12 participants representing environmental initiatives, media outlets and community projects. These aspiring Greenfluencers, project founders, and content creators participated in a 10-day immersive experience, engaging with 12 other environmental projects.
Participants developed skills in content creation, learned to manage collaborations, and created multi-layered partnerships. They connected with researchers, conservationists, ecologists and local initiatives, amplifying their efforts through storytelling, hands-on conservation work, and team-building workshops.
Behind the Greens Media produced 4.5 terabytes of footage, including vertical and horizontal formats, documenting greenfluencers journeys and conservation efforts for stories, Reels, Shorts, audio, video and podcasts.
