The Media Trainers Workshop organized by UNESCO and Media Technology Department at the Polytechnic of Namibia brought together representatives from the twelve potential centres of excellence in Journalism training in Africa, academics from international universities, professional and development organizations and NGOs.
The purpose of this workshop was to assist these centres of Journalism training to prepare an outcome-based strategic plan including the three crucial areas of institutional development: internal capacity, external outreach and future orientation.
The Media Trainers Workshop afforded participants the possibility to discuss their status in regards with the different areas of development in order to fulfill their potential as centres of excellence within the timeframe stipulated by UNESCO.
