Questions about the Media for Peace program
Is the program offered part-time?
It is possible to participate in the support program on a part-time basis. You should commit at least 20 hours per week to it.
Is the program face-to-face or remote?
As this is a program with international participants, the program is predominantly remote. Occasional face-to-face workshops are planned.
How far along does my idea need to be?
If you already have a concrete idea, that's great. But be prepared to critically question and adapt your idea. If you don't have a concrete idea yet, but have a lot of enthusiasm for the topic, that's great too! Especially in the first phase, it is about finding out what could help crisis journalism.
