"REPORTING RESPONSIBLY ONMIGRATION" JOURNALISM TRAININGWORKSHOPJournalists have an important role in society,
that of communicating news to the public in a
fair, responsible and unbiased way.
The recent Journalism Training Workshop
convened by The Migration Project was aimed
specifically at community media journalists in
the Greater eThekwini area, to educate them
about migration and xenophobia, and
especially about unconscious biases towards
migrants, that exist in journalism.
The training was held virtually on the 15th of
July due to Covid-19 regulations at the time.
The turnout was, nonetheless, successful.
CSO TRAINING WORKSHOPS
The CSO Training Workshops comprised of
delegates from civil society organizations
from the greater eThekwini area, and more
especially our implementation sites which
include KwaMashu, Isipingo, Umlazi,
KwaMakhutha and Sydenham.
The purpose of these two-day CSO
Training Workshops was to capacitate civil
society organizations working on issues of
migration and xenophobia, so they are
better equipped to execute their projects
and assist The Migration Project, at a
community level, in our implementation
sites, which they already work in. The two
events were attended by representatives
from the eThekwini Municipality, Black
Sash, Africa Unite and many other civil
society and community-based
organizations with an interest in migration,
xenophobia and social cohesion.
The Migration Project convened two successful
CSO Training Workshops on the 10th and 11th
and again on the 25th and 26th of August.
