Investigative Journalism Training Programme 2017 for Young North African and European Journalists

In recent years journalists have been at the forefront of exposing the systems that have allowed cross-border corruption to occur – with the Panama Papers last year exposing the ways leaders from across the world used tax havens to hide their wealth and showing the huge impact that investigative journalists can have in exposing assets that have been hidden, in identifying the systems used to hide those assets, and in putting pressure on governments to act.

We’re looking for young North African and European journalists to be part of a investigative journalism training programme. This programme will support a new generation of journalists to write about ongoing cases and potentially identify new stories about public asset theft.

Importantly, this programme is about collaboration – we want to build a group of young, investigative journalists that works together to identify stories across North Africa and Europe, now and in the future.

Nationals from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Germany, the UK, France, Switzerland and Spain, between the ages of 20 and 35, are eligible to apply. The programme is open for journalism students and young professionals eager to work on journalistic investigations around public finance. Writing, reading and understanding English is required.

Training costs, flights, accommodation and visa costs are all covered for successful applicants, however  you should budget to pay for your own meals (except breakfasts) and other expenses you may need.
