<DIV>Liebe Fome-Kollege,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>ich möchte Sie darauf aufmerksam machen, dass der Weltverband der
Wissenschaftsjournalisten ein Mentoringprogramm für Journalisten in Afrika und
im Nahen Osten gestartet hat. Ich kopiere eine Kurzfassung des Projektes
untendran. Ausführlichere Informationen finden Sie unter <A
href="http://www.wfsj.org">www.wfsj.org</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ich selbst bin für das Monitoring und die Evaluation des Projektes
zuständig. Weil das Projekt u.a. von der kanadischen
Entwicklungshilfeorganisation IDRC finanziert wird, werde ich mich dabei der
Methode des "Outcome Mappings" bedienen.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Außerdem baue ich im Rahmen des Projektes gemeinsam mit den Kollegen von <A
href="http://www.scidev.net">www.scidev.net</A> einen "Online Course in
Science Journalism" auf.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

face="Times New Roman" size=3>The mentoring program will associate aspiring
science journalists with experienced science journalists for a maximum period of
two years. There will be three groups of mentored journalists: Anglophone
Africa, Francophone Africa and the Middle East. Each group will include a
regional coordinator, 5 mentors and 20 mentored journalists. Following selection
of the participating journalists, the peer-to-peer coaching will begin through
e-mail and phone calls. Once a year, tied to a field visit or a scientific
conference, a workshop in each region will bring together mentors and
journalists. </FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-CA><FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3>The program’s first step will be a training
session for all mentors and coordinators, in July 2006. Mentors will be
recruited in the regions and from different parts of the world. All mentors will
need English, while some will also need either Arabic or French. A formal
agreement will spell out clearly the responsibilities of mentors and what the
mentored science journalist can ask and expect. </FONT></SPAN></P>

training opportunities.</FONT></SPAN></P>
