A year after the field trip with Nursing Heart that took myself and my superstar translator Anita into one of the most remote villages in rural #Guatemala and months of research and fact checking, she's live!

The tragedy at Florida State University is heartbreaking. Our thoughts are with everyone affected. To our SOJOWB community — past and present — we’re thinking of you too, especially if this news feels close to home.

No one should fear violence in spaces of learning. 🖤

Journalism educators - what’s the first piece of advice you give your students when they head into the field?

Ours? Don’t just chase quotes. Follow the people solving problems.

#SolutionsJournalism #JournoEd

[Solutions Journalism Without Borders @sojowb]

When @StephanieCapper created SOJOWB, it wasn’t just about teaching #solutionsjournalism.

It was about rewriting how stories are told - by who, for who, and with who.

Ready to challenge how you’ve been taught to report? Apply now for our 2025 program: https://t.co/NqrDgDRzpe

[Solutions Journalism Without Borders @sojowb]

At @SOJOWB, we've seen what happens when students go beyond the classroom & into the field.

They come back with sharper instincts, more empathy, and stronger stories. That’s what our 2025 #Guatemala program is about.

Applications now open: https://t.co/NqrDgDRzpe

What if your next #journalism assignment took you to the shores of Lake Atitlán — collaborating with a cohort of local and international storytellers?

This isn’t a hypothetical.

It’s SOJOWB. And applications are open: https://t.co/NqrDgDS7eM

[Stephanie Capper @StephanieCapper]

For me, it was how to pitch an idea to an editor - both in the newsroom and as a freelancer. Guess what @sojowb has an entire module on? 🤓
