Workshop Materials
This section contains presentations, background readings, practical exercises, and other materials used during the workshops conducted as part of the project. It also includes a comprehensive study produced within the framework of the project, as well as a video documenting the program and its workshops.
The workshops combined expert input with discussion-based and practical learning formats. Rather than focusing primarily on lectures, they emphasized exchange among participants, collaborative exercises, and the application of knowledge to real-world media and communication challenges.
The sessions were led by experienced journalists, media practitioners, and researchers, who contributed their expertise from both professional and academic perspectives.
