Online Course on Freedom of Expression in the Digital Age
Deadline: May 5 (Application Link)
 Journalists from across the Arab world, North America, Europe, Pakistan and Indonesia are currently participating in an online training course entitled “Freedom of expression in the digital age,” which started on May 21 and will end on June 25, 2010.
The course, sponsored by the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, is free of charge.
During the five-week course, participants will develop skills in producing multimedia content, including writing and blogging for the Web. They will also learn to manage online communities that attract constructive, responsible dialogue. Through an exploration of sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, participants will learn how social networking is being used in news coverage and how journalists can best use citizen-produced content in ways that promote intercultural understanding.
The course is held in both English and Arabic to allow for dialogue between journalists from different backgrounds.
Selected successful graduates of the course will be invited to attend a conference in Alexandria, Egypt, in the fall of 2010 to continue the dialogue with other journalists from around the globe.
For more information, please contact Bassam Sebti at bsebti@icfj.org or click here.
