[cma-l] European Media Work Exchanges

[CMA-L]

Sport is a major field of media content production as well as coverage
and an important area for building social cohesion. It is also a
source of tensions between groups, communities, or even nations. An
outcome of the MARS - Media Against Racism in Sport – programme should
be that expression of diversity and non-discrimination are used by all
sectors of the media as an ongoing angle for any form of media
coverage. By applying this approach, it will lead to innovative modes
of production of truly inclusive media contents which will/can
contribute to foster mutual understanding.

To go towards achieving this outcome, the MARS programme is offering
media professionals (journalism students and trainers, journalists,
media managers, etc.) the opportunity to participate in European Media
Work Exchanges.

The MARS Media Work Exchanges are a unique opportunity for media
professionals, and future ones, to widen the scope of their media
practices and contact pools.

Media professionals will have the opportunity to host a media
colleague/counterpart and be hosted themselves by a media related
organisation in return (training organisations, media, self-regulatory
and regulatory bodies, professional unions… ) to exchange professional
experience and to produce together with the participating colleague, a
common output (training exercises, media reports, case studies, etc.).

To help with the process, the Council of Europe will provide
participants the financial and logistics support to travel and work
with European Union colleagues in 10-day work exchanges (5 days as
guest / 5 days as host).
