School of Peacemaking and Media Technology announces the start of a new
competition for a training session among local Kyrgyz- and Uzbek-speaking
journalists, who represent print and online media in Osh, Jalalabat and
Batken oblasts of south Kyrgyzstan.
In order to be eligible, participants must be younger than 35 years old.
The training is organized with an aim to encourage open discussions on
peacemaking-related matters, teaching local journalists the tools of
building 'bridges' between conflicting parties and important techniques of
identifying activists that are ready for dialogue.
The five-day training is a unique initiative. We plan to invite
international trainers from South Caucasus and Former Yugoslavia, who have
solid experience in professional journalism in conflict societies and in
conducting trainings on related topics.
One of the main prerequisites for the selection is readiness of the
candidates to work in multi-ethnic groups and their motivation for team
reporting.
Synchronized translation into a state-language will be organized during the
event. The venue: Bishkek. Time: April, August and November of 2012. More
details will be announced on the website: www.ca-mediators.net.

To participate, candidates need to send their resume or CV to
peacemak...@gmail.com. Please enclose motivation letter with details
on past work and training experience, as well as your motivation to work in
a multi-ethnic team. We also need a writing sample (published or
unpublished) in any of four languages (English, Kyrgyz, Uzbek or Russian).
