From 2009-2012, this project will work with the next generation of media practitioners - students on accredited and respected media and journalism courses in the UK. It will also work with their tutors, to help develop curricula and course content.

The project will feature the following elements:

Workshops

One World Media will run a series of workshops for students, covering a range of issues relating to reporting and filmmaking in a developing country. We are working with experienced filmmakers and journalists James Brabazon and Sophie Chalk, who will facilitate workshop sessions at participating universities - click here for more on the trainers. Topics covered include hostile environments and risk assessment, ethical challenges when reporting on the ground in a developing country, and new ideas for content about the developing world.

Screenings

The project will feature screenings of acclaimed documentary films about the developing world, accompanied by Q & A sessions and masterclasses with those involved in producing them.

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

The project will produce a range of materials that university tutors and students will be able to use so they can cover these topics on their courses in the future. In addition, this website will act as a portal for other sites and resources about making media in the developing world - click here for more.

Media Festival

In 2012, the final year of the project, there will be a Media Festival featuring seminars, panel discussions and more. It will also celebrate the media produced as part of the project.
