Foreign Correspondent Training Course, July 2013 - Social program

Social and cultural programme

In addition to the training sessions, we've arranged a social program so participants will be able to meet their fellow participants, TOL staff and the course trainers. Activities included welcome and farewell dinners, as well as a concert.

FEEDBACK

"The training of TOL is the best means to meet very interesting people from different countries, to learn a lot about new media and social journalism, to get some technical skills and finally, these courses suggest new ways to use professional knowledge and skills better than before."

"I liked the idea that you really had to do it yourself. Michael was always there for feedback and for solutions, but the article had to come from yourself."

"It was important to go to another country ... because although I can learn about reporting back home it isn't foreign correspondence unless you're somewhere new."
