One World Media Student Programme
Welcome to the home page for the One World Media Student Programme. This programme of work, currently funded by UKaid from the Department for International Development, aims to support and encourage tomorrow's journalists and documentary filmmakers to produce outstanding media coverage of the developing world.
The programme works with the next generation of media practitioners - students on accredited and respected media and journalism courses in the UK. It also works with their tutors, to help develop curricula and course content.
The programme features the following elements:
Workshops
One World Media runs a series of workshops for students, covering a range of issues relating to reporting and filmmaking in a developing country and engaging UK audiences with stories from the wider world. Click here to find out more about the workshops.
Events
The project features a series of large-scale events taking place at partner universities. The events will bring existing professionals into contact with students to share their knowledge through masterclasses, screenings, discussions, live pitching events, and more. Click here to find out about our largest event in 2011, the New Talent Day held at the University of Westminster.
Student Media Fund
Students on participating courses will be eligible to apply for modest funding to help them make a piece of media in a developing country as part of their course. There will be 5-10 bursaries available each year, of up to £1000 each. Click here for more on the bursaries.
Materials and Resources
We have produced a range of teaching materials that can help university tutors cover these topics on their courses. Students can also access the resources directly. Click here to find out how to access our Teaching Resources.
