Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

The project that we are looking for participation in is the ‘Stories to Empower: The Starfish Community Spotlight Series (CSS)’. The CSS is a project focused on sharing the incredible stories and work of people within The Starfish Canada’s community. The main goal for this series is to leverage the stories of people within our community to empower and inspire others to create environmental change and take climate action within their own communities.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

We are looking for two student writers to contribute to this project. Student one will be required to complete two separate in-depth feature articles on two different people that we will be featuring within this series. The same will be required of the second student. The articles must be between 1000 to 1500 words in length. Part of this project will also entail reviewing transcripts from interviews with the people being featured within this series to compile the relevant information necessary to write the articles. The goal for the articles is for them to be a more personal and poetic style of writing. Both students will work closely with The Starfish Canada’s Editor-in-Chief to ensure that the voice, direction, tone, and angle of the articles are cohesive.
