International Executive Media and TV Workshop (IEMTW)
Geneva (Venue World Meteorological Organization Conference Facilities)
(Special Note: Participants will make their own hotel and Visa arrangements)
The International Executive Media and TV Workshop, developed and conducted by the Center for Development Communication, will empower agency representatives, government officials, business and community leaders to:
- Better understand media dynamics
- Develop long-term strategic relations and improve existing relations with media
- Respond to journalists' queries in a manner that builds credibility and results in better and more frequent coverage
This intensive three and a half day course was developed in cooperation with the United Nations System Staff College. CDC has established a successful track record in training senior UN and other international agency personnel and private sector representatives in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States. CDC methodology has been used to train diplomats, new UN Representatives, nongovernmental leaders, and private sector representatives.
Past participants, including representatives from UNICEF, UNIFEM, UNHCR, USAID, WHO, NGO's such as the Association Democratique des Femmes du Maroc (ADFM) and government officials from Tunisia, Palestine, Iraq, and Morocco have attested to the value and relevance of this experience.
Strategic Communication for Good Governance Workshop (SCG)
CDC created this course in response to the growing need to strategically program communication as a key aspect of any governance project, and to address the issues of media responsibility that arise from an increasing emphasis in development programming on a rights based approach.
Over a period of three days, this workshop highlights key issues related to governance and the media and analyzes a variety of themes related to the role of the media in establishing good governance practices.
The course also looks at the use of community media and behavior change programmes in relation to good governance practices.
Objective
To provide senior management with the necessary tools to support the communication industry by exposing them to some of the key issues that should be addressed as part of any development project to strengthen the role of a democratic media.
The three day course will focus on three aspects:
- Governance by the Media (fighting corruption, campaigns for human rights)
- Governance for the Media (Enabling conditions that society develops for the media)
- Governance in the Media (ethics and accountability)
Workshop facilitators will cover the following subjects designed to share new thinking and provide participants with the skills needed to develop projects that address these issues. In addition, CDC will provide on-site facilitation that will help participants themselves interact with the media in a more effective way
