By developing curriculum in four key languages (English\, French\, Portuguese\, and Kiswahili)\, the project has trained over 100 researchers and 1\,500 students and professionals. \n\n\n\nThe consortium includes partner universities from Uganda\, Burkina Faso\, Malawi\, Germany\, and Portugal\, alongside associated partners from across the continent and global bodies like UNESCO and the World Journalism Education Council. \n\n\n\nEvent Details \n\n\n\nDates: 2nd – 6th February 2026 \n\n\n\nVenue: Uganda Christian University\, Mukono Campus \n\n\n\nTarget Audience: Journalists\, Media Professionals\, Journalism Students\, Educators\, and Policymakers. \n\n\n\nJoin us as we build sustainable bridges for the future of African journalism and work together to challenge stereotypes and drive social change.
