Support for Ukrainian Refugees through Media
The “Support for Ukrainian Refugees through the Media” project, funded by the Government of Japan, is a UNESCO initiative developed within the framework of the UN Regional Refugee Response Plan (RRRP) for Ukraine, coordinated by UNHCR.
It aims to increase refugees’ access to reliable information on key issues of concern, to increase their self-reliance and resilience, and to create favourable conditions for the integration of refugees into host communities in Romania.
The Centre for Independent Journalism will work with four TV newsrooms (three from local media and one from central media) who will collaborate with Ukrainian journalists to produce media content for Romanian audiences and Ukrainian refugees. Moreover, through trainings, the four newsrooms will be able to learn more about solutions-based journalism in order to improve their reporting on sensitive topics.
The activities that the CIJ will be carrying out within the project
- Organising a training with international experts on how to report better on conflict and refugees;
- Organising a training on constructive journalism;
- Creating and maintaining a network of journalists that will cover refugees.
Project time frame: 22 June 2023 – 31 January 2024
