The YaLa programme pour le journalisme citoyen lance un appel à candidatures pour une formation de 4 mois (Offre en anglais) Retour vers les opportunités

The YaLa Citizen Journalism program invites you to undergo a 4 month training program (starting in March), including weekly online classes and seminars to help you become “citizen journalists.” The program will be held in English.
The curriculum will be comprised of online lessons from experts in the fields of journalism, social media, and cyber activism, providing both theoretical and practical approaches to the field. Students (age 17 to 36) will be asked to write blogs, run interviews, take photos and contribute to our online blog platform. Students will be required to take part in bi-monthly live chat sessions and to be part of a private Facebook working group.
Students must come from the MENA region (Middle East and Northern Africa).

The internet allows the voices of civil societies to be heard globally; a power once reserved for only the largest media and news corporations. We must make the best of this opportunity.

The curriculum will train the participants to become experienced citizen journalists through mainly utilizing the blogging platform, by submitting and peer-editing their own blogs. The peer-editing component serves as an additional base for dialogue. Blogs will focus on issues important to MENA youth, such as gender, identity, politics, social justice, and culture.

Be part of a network of young, trained, informed citizen journalists in the MENA region who are actively engaged in dialogue, as well as in the promotion of understanding and peace through journalism.

The most engaged participants will be selected to travel to Jordan for a joint workshop, including advanced training seminars and providing participants with the opportunity to collaborate face-to-face. In addition 2 participants will be selected to travel to the US for a unique educational trip.
