Are you a journalistic/media trainer from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, 
Georgia, Moldova or Ukraine? Do you have basic skills in podcasting or 
mobile reporting? Do you feel the need to get additional skills and 
learn about teaching concepts, that you can use for training 
journalists? Are you looking for international contacts to exchange your 
experiences and expand your network?

If yes, apply for "Snowball effect for stronger media - train the 
trainer", a two-part-program at the Berlin Journalism School in 
cooperation with the Armenian NGO Journalists for the future. The 
training, supported by the German Foreign Office under the program 
"strengthening cooperation with civil society in the Eastern Partnership 
countries", will take place in Berlin and in Aghveran (Armenia).

In the first part, seven trainers  - who preferably already have basic 
skills - from all countries of the Eastern Partnership will learn the 
latest techniques for recording, editing, and streaming over-the-air 
video clips or audio podcasts in just a few minutes during a six-day 
mobile reporting or podcasting train-the-trainer program.

The participants will also meet German journalists or experts with a 
focus on Eastern European topics. This seminar will be held at the 
Berlin Journalism School (BJS), most likely from August 5th to 11th. At 
the end of the week, the trainers will develop a guideline for future 
workshops as well as a concept for one day/part of this workshop they 
will take in it.

In the second part, those trainers will pass on their skills – also 
those newly acquired in podcasting and mobile reporting to 30 Armenian 
and Georgian journalists in a summer school in Aghveran, most likely in 
the end of September.

be paid.
