About Small World Stories
Created in 2011, Small World Stories is a strategic communications and content production company specializing in a wide range of social causes. With storytelling at the heart of our approach, we work with government and non-government organizations worldwide to create communications strategies and products designed to advance programmatic goals.
The climate crisis is, in part, a communications crisis. To inspire action, the way we communicate about the planet and our relationship with it must change. The Climate Communications Resources Hub (the Hub) curates tools and resources to help everyone communicate the climate emergency more effectively. The resources in the Hub dive into some aspects of climate communications, discuss good and not-so-good practices and make practical recommendations to communicators, marketers, PR agencies, activists and anyone else interested in communicating the climate emergency.
The objective of the internship is to support the day-to-day management of the Climate Communications Resources Hub, while contributing to its accessibility, promotion and growth. The intern will report to Small World Stories’ co-director and work closely with the organization’s social media and digital leads. The specific tasks to be performed by the intern will be tailored to fit the candidate’s interests and skills. Tentative tasks include:
- Help source new resources in English, French and/or Spanish if language skills permit, including setting up notifications to receive alerts about new relevant resources
- Prepare and send out periodic email alerts and newsletters to subscribers
- Devise and implement an outreach and promotion plan targeting relevant academic programmes and organizations
- Assess and recommend improvements for the display and findability of resources on the Hub
- Develop a guide for potential external blog contributors
- Maintain and grow the blog editorial calendar
- Write blogs (an average of two per month) on topics of interest to the candidate
- Develop a climate communications lexicon
