Module 1: Introduction to Peace Journalism

Module 3: Techniques for Reporting on Dealing with the Past (DwP)

Module 4: Exploring the Role of Media in Reconciliation

Following the completion of these modules, a regional study trip was arranged in North Macedonia.

Participants from the Academy had the opportunity to visit the facilities of the Association of Macedonian Journalists, the Council for Media Ethics in Macedonia (KEMM), and Pikasa Analytics. During these visits, they engaged in insightful discussions to gain knowledge about the media landscape in North Macedonia, emerging trends in online media, and their impact on reporting, particularly in the context of Dealing with the Past (DWP) and Conflict-Sensitive Reporting (CSR).
