Project objectives:
| The
aim of the project was to bring together journalists from different ethnic groups,
to train them in coverage of diversity-related issues. The objective of the course
was to enable journalists coming from different ethnic backgrounds to understand
that there is always a common ground, a basic human interest which put people
together regardless of their nationality, religion or ethnicity. The trainer and
the journalists would use as their core training material an resource manual produced
as part of the project, which would include both conceptual and practical material
on diversity, including essays, training modules, case studies, journalistic tool
boxes, codes of conduct and legal material. |
