Deadline: 17-Jun-20
Kosovo 2.0 in partnership with Kosovar Center for Gender Studies, and Center for Equality and Liberty (CEL) has launched the 3rd cycle of the 6-months Human Rights Journalism Fellowship Program.
K2.0, KCGS and CEL are pleased to invite young journalists to apply, as they seek to engage and empower you to serve the interests of the silent, the marginalized, the divided and the excluded. Through journalism, the program seeks to bring viewpoints and positions that counter the discriminatory traditional norms that place certain societal groups at risk to the mainstream of public discourse.
This year, through the Human Rights Journalism Fellowship, 10 young aspiring journalists will be supported both financially — by receiving 2,500 euros — and through continuous mentoring by assigned professional editors with expertise in human rights.
Fellows will be expected to produce one piece of long-form journalism (up to 5,000 words), a short movie/documentary/video (10 to 20 minutes), and/or a photo-essay with a human rights perspective. Throughout a 6-month course, the fellows will work closely with editors, conduct extensive research around their chosen themes, identify stakeholders, interview sources and will, ultimately, finalize their production to be published on their online magazine platform.
Eligibility Criteria
- Young journalists, independent and/or freelancers, employed or unemployed;
- Born and living in Kosovo;
- Between the ages of 18 and 35; and
- Have at least one year of experience in journalism and/or communications and/or at least two years of education in journalism and/or communications.
