21-24 March 2022 | Berlin, Germany
What are the best practices for reporting on migration issues? How can journalists build a compelling story from complex information? And what can media professionals do to counter fake news and hate speech?
Join a 4-day training for young journalists from Poland and Germany, hosted in Berlin, to learn from experts in the field, exchange ideas with others, and build a strong foundation for ethical and engaging reporting on one of the most complex issues of our time: migration.
In this course you will:
- Learn best practices for migration reporting and building diverse media houses;
- Learn how to counter anti-religious and anti-migration hate speech in your reporting;
- Meet other young journalists from Poland and Germany and exchange experiences of working on migration issues;
- Learn about the project „I Am European: Migration Stories and Facts for the 21st Century” and its achievements.
This training course will be based on non-formal education and experience exchange with experts from various European countries working on the cross-cutting issues of migration and media. During the training, participants will learn and develop skills and knowledge that they can take into their journalistic careers back home. The learning process will be structured through interactive presentations, discussions, simulations, and especially practical group work. It is expected that there will be no more than 15 participants, predominantly from Germany and Poland, participating in the event.
