Governance & Media

Junior workshop in Bonn, March 30 - April 5, 2014

Together they discussed the relationship between democracy, governance and the media. The workshop focused on media in Africa as well as on the bridging function of media between Germany and Africa. Besides acvademic lectures and internal discussions, highlights of the program were a visit to the headquarters of Deutsche Welle and an extensive skills training on "media".
