Morocco hosts African Journalism course
Rabat in Morocco is the venue of a Train-the-Trainer Course from 5 to 16 March for 10 young lectures from 6 African journalism education institutions, the organisers say. Hosted by the Institut supérieur de I’information et de la communication (ISIC), the course is organised by DW-AKADEMIE (Deutsche Welle’s international center for media development, media consulting and journalism training) in cooperation with UNESCO. Journalism educators from Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Madagascar, Morocco, Senegal and Tunisia will share their teaching experiences with a focus on new media and multimedia. Participants will concentrate on developing their pedagogical skills through a Train-the-Trainer course that emphasizes new teaching methods: more interactive, participative and practice-oriented, thus allowing students to apply newly acquired skills and knowledge directly. The group will also concentrate on the use of new media, which can play an important role in development in Africa. (ANA)
