Partner with AYEJ
AYEJ turns environmental issues into stories, skills, and public conversations. Since 2020, we've delivered this work through training programs, content production, and public events for embassies, government agencies, and international NGOs across the Philippines.
Here's How To Work With Us
You have a communications, training, or content need tied to your own project. We design and deliver it.

Training & Capacity Building
We design and run media and communications training, from single cohorts to multi-phase fellowships.
Cohort-based fellowships for working journalists (example: Green Beat Plus, biodiversity reporting upskilling for 20 professional journalists)
Team-based bootcamps that end in a real deliverable (example: EcoBuzz, 17 teams trained and seed-funded to launch their own biodiversity campaigns)
Youth ambassador and deployment programs, pairing training with placement at partner institutions (example: SREAP, deployment to the Energy Regulatory Commission, WWF Philippines, and others)
School and campus-level programs, delivered with DepEd (example: Green Beat Initiative, training school paper advisers and campus journalists nationwide)
Content Production
We produce broadcast-ready and campaign-ready content, and we handle distribution partnerships, not just production.
Documentary and TV-magazine series (example: Kwentong Kalikasan, 14 episodes, distributed on Knowledge Channel and iWantTFC, certified child-friendly by the National Council for Children’s Television)
Animated explainer and advocacy videos (example: Video Advocacy of Nature-based Solutions, screened at the Philippine Pavilion, COP28)
Podcasts (example: Planet in Progress)
Instructional and testimonial video for training programs (example: GIZ's WASH-in-Schools MOOC materials)
Events & Convenings
We plan and run webinars, panels, media roundtables, and multi-day conferences.
Expert webinars and panel discussions (example: Youth Power in Tackling Urgent Environmental Issues, 340+ participants)
Multi-country convenings (example: EU-ASEAN Climate Diplomacy Week, 700+ registrants across Southeast Asia)
Press launches and media engagement management (example: Forest Fest PH media roundtable and launch)
Film screenings and traveling festivals (example: the Traveling Film Festival for Kwentong Kalikasan, seven schools plus a mall screening)
How We Work
Initial conversation. Share your goal and constraints. We assess fit before anything is scoped.
Scoping and concept note proposal. We co-design the scope, timeline, and budget together through a concept note submission.
Program design. We build the specific curriculum, content plan, or event structure, with named project staff assigned.
Delivery. A dedicated team runs the program, typically including a Program Manager, Project Officer, and Design Strategist.
Reporting and learning. Every program closes with structured reporting (an Activity Implementation Report and, where relevant, a Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice survey), so you know what was delivered and what it changed.
Delivering programs since 2020, with ₱14.3M+ in grants and program funding secured
Trusted by institutions including the U.S. and UK Embassies, USAID, GIZ, WWF Philippines, the Department of Education, and the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives
Content distributed through Knowledge Channel, iWantTFC, Rappler, Inquirer, Mongabay, and CNN Philippines
