About EMAJ 2009
The Euro-Mediterranean Academy for Young Journalists Amsterdam 2009 is a 10-day, high-quality training course on Journalism and Intercultural Dialogue in which active discussions on current issues, lectures from experts on relevant subjects and practical assignments are tools in challenging mutual misperceptions. You are to bring with you an open mind, a suitcase full of questions, opinions and ideas, and prepare for ten days of debate, cultural exchange, unexpected light bulb moments and professional growth. The practical work of the EMAJ team will be supervised and assisted by trainers, experts and journalists from each region with experience in journalism and facilitation.
You will have the chance to work in intercultural teams while producing pieces of journalism (suitable for print, radio, TV, online media), that will be subjected to peer review and further discussion. All results of the Academy will be published on EMAJ permanent website in form of a multimedia online report on migration related issues.
Moreover, the EMAJ website will be further developed to become an online platform that will not only contain reports, features and work samples, but also will become a sustainable tool for networking. In the end, a sustainable professional network of young journalists as a base for future cooperation will be established, designed to continue where the workshop left off.
Costs related to the event including travels, accommodation and meals will be covered.
