Training Workshop on How to Report GENDER, HIV/AIDS AND RIGHTS |
|
In November
2002 IPS 'tested' a draft media training manual on Gender,
Rights and HIV/AIDS with a group of Caribbean journalists.
This was the second trial for the draft manual, the first
having been conducted with African journalists in Johannesburg,
South Africa in September 2002.
Suzanne Francis Brown, a communicator
at the University of West Indies, was the trainer at the three-day
workshop at the Alhambra Inn, Kingston, Jamaica. Seven of
the participants were from the region - |

Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad - and one from Minneapolis,
United States. Ann Ninan, who is the series editor for IPS reporting
on gender, HIV/AIDS and rights, and based in Delhi, India, was
the rapporteur, and Corinne Barnes, the former IPS Caribbean
editor, was the coordinator. |

some of the insights of the training, and document the development
of the final version of the manual. Please contact Susan Alexander

you have any comments or questions about this report or the
wider project of which it is part.
