Media Trainer (Consultant) – The Munathra Initiative Retour vers les opportunités

The Munathara Initiative is a registered non-profit organization founded in 2012 with offices in Washington D.C.  and Tunisia/Lebanon/Morocco. The Initiative aims at creating an independent and inclusive discussion and debate  platform in the MENA region. The Munathara Initiative is working to provide everyone in the Arabic speaking  world with a voice regardless of their age, gender or background in order to create a public sphere characterized  by evolvability and tolerance towards different points of view. 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION  

Oumour Themna project aims to enhance legal literacy among Tunisian youth, fostering a culture of respect for  the rule of law. By increasing awareness of legal processes, rights, and responsibilities, the initiative empowers  youth to navigate the legal system, make informed decisions, and actively participate in public debates. Oumour Themna contributes to the improvement of access to justice for youth and promoting inclusive citizen  participation through increased availability of information. In this frame, two main activities are programmed: the  Maydan video podcast series on local justice issues and human rights topics of interest and the Public interest  media broadcast radio show. 

These activities aim to bridge the information gap by delivering content on legal processes, fundamental rights,  and social issues. The Maydan video podcast series and the radio show provide platforms for informed  discussions, engaging Tunisian youth in meaningful conversations about their rights and responsibilities. The  ultimate goal is to empower youth to actively contribute to policy development actively, ensuring a democratic  and inclusive Tunisia where fundamental rights are protected and upheld. 

In this context, The Munathara Initiative is seeking to recruit a Media Trainer who will be responsible for planning,  coordinating, and executing the production of engaging and high-quality radio shows and podcasts. S/he will work  closely with the project team to ensure the delivery of compelling content that meets the organization’s standards  and objectives.
