What are the advantages of our journalism workshops?
Our journalism and media workshops mix theory with hands-on practical training to make you better prepared for today’s fast-moving media environment.
The workshops are limited to 12 participants to ensure you maximise your time practising new skills and to allow for individual feedback from the trainers.
Our trainers are experienced, practising journalists who are all certified trainers.
Our training centre in Lilongwe is stocked with all the necessary media equipment (cameras, mobile reporting kits, computers, high-speed Internet) to enable you to learn new skills and explore new media. Its high-quality amenities mean you can learn in comfort.
Our training modules have been developed in close cooperation with DW Akademie, Germany’s leading media development organisation. As such, our media workshops meet international standards while being tailored to local conditions.
Who are the trainers?
Our trainers are experienced, practising journalists who are all certified trainers.
They have all completed a rigorous ‘Trainer the Trainer’ course to develop their training expertise and have also conducted workshops alongside DW Akademie’s trainers to benefit from their international experience.
