Deadline: 20-Aug-21
The Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN) is inviting young people from any discipline who are interested in these topics to submit a proposal to join them at this workshop.
Young people from the Western Balkans are invited to apply for a workshop in storytelling and fact-checking on topics of transitional justice, truth-telling and memory.
BIRN is organizing a three-day interactive workshop at which participants will examine truth-seeking and reconciliation as an exercise in storytelling. The workshop will be led by BIRN’s award-winning journalists and editors and will examine how to avoid the trap of producing stories that trivialise war crimes and victims’ experiences and foster impunity. Participants will also learn how to create safe, non-partisan and compassionate space for victims who are sharing their stories.
BIRN and its partner(s) are supported by RYCO within the 4th Open Call for Project Proposals co-financed by the European Union.
Date of Workshop: July 26-28, 2021 (three-day session)
Eligibility Criteria
- Young journalists, students, activists and anyone else who is interested in addressing these questions. They especially encourage young people from marginalised communities to apply. No previous experience is necessary. They will accept applications from people aged from 18 to 30 years old.
