Summer School and Dialogue for Journalists, Analysts, Civic Activists from the South Caucasus and Turkey
The Imagine Center for Conflict Transformation is accepting applications for the Summer School and Dialogue for Journalists, Analysts, Civic Activists from the South Caucasus and Turkey. The School will take place on June 17-24 in Georgia.
The Summer School will provide space for dialogue and advanced capacity building that encourages a culture of responsible, independent, and impartial journalistic practices and conflict transformative analysis that can counterbalance the prevailing conflict-generating coverage. In the months following the School, the Project participants will have the opportunity for collaboration with existing online media outlets and analytical publications, such as the Caucasus Edition to advance the alternative vision and conflict transformative discourses through co-authored articles and policy recommendations. The participants will also participate in the development of a new regional multi-media platform that includes photo, video, and other interactive materials.
The School is open for applications from journalists, editors, bloggers, analysts, and civic activists from the South Caucasus and Turkey who have access to audiences in their respective societies through local networks and media. Applicantions from individuals who combine commitment to conflict resolution with multi-media skills are strongly encouraged.
To apply to the Summer School, potential participants are invited to submit to the below email address their CV, a short motivation letter (no more than a page), and a portfolio that includes articles or audio-visual materials produced by the applicant on conflict related topics. The deadline for the applications is May 20, 2017.
The program will cover the travel and accommodation costs of the selected participants.
The working language of the School is English. The working language of the prospective joint publication is both English and Russian.
