Outside Cairo

This year, the Goethe-Institut Cairo launches the Cultural Journalism Program in the provinces of Egypt to enhance the visibility of cultural events through more extensive coverage. Participants expand their knowledge in the field of cultural journalism while participating in workshops on topics such as journalistic skills and ethics, multimedia articles, photo and video journalism, and review and analysis of artistic works. Additionally, a press trip through Egypt takes place and the program is accompanied by experienced mentors.

The program consists of the following workshops, which will be held in Cairo:

Dates	Topic of the Workshop
11/2023	Introductory to culture journalism and ethics
03/2024	Writing multimedia articles
05/2024	Photo and video journalism
06/2024	Review and analysis of artistic works

Each Workshop will last for 2-3 days from 10 am till 4 pm at Goethe-Institut Kairo. The exact workshop dates will be announced timely enough before each workshop. The Goethe-Institut reserves the right to change the dates of the workshops if necessary. This remains within the narrowest possible limits. The workshops will be held in Arabic.
