Greetings from the Huairou Commission!
We are pleased to announce that we are pioneering an initiative to offer 10
Fellowship for Young Journalists as part of our Strategy in building
partnership with the media in a concerted effort to strengthen and support
our work, and make grassroots women's contribution to development process
more visible.
The Huairou Commission in partnership with Cordaid, Netherlands are happy to
announce that they will sponsor a 12 day Fellowship Program for Young
Journalists to report on Grassroots Women's International Academy (GWIA) and
the World Urban Forum (WUF) in Barcelona, Spain. For detail information on
the Fellowship, please visit our website at www.huairou.org
<http://www.huairou.org> . Closing date for the application is 30 July 2004.
Please write to us if you want us to send the electronic format of the
application package directly to you (a big file, hence we are not
circulating them with this list).
This Fellowship will have young reporters participate in a day and a half of
classroom discussion, attend both the GWIA and WUF and, in stories
following, will be expected to report not only on specific grassroots
solutions but also to show how important grassroots governance processes are
to the long term social, political and economic development of their
communities.
The Young Journalists Fellowship Program, will fund at least 10 young
journalists from Asia Pacific, Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe and the
Netherlands to participate and follow both GWIA and WUF to enable them to
interact and learn of grounded applications of grassroots women's practices
that have proven to contribute towards sustainable human development and
social change.
We would be grateful if you could circulate this information to others who
would be interested to apply for this Fellowship.
