📢 CFI Central Asia Forum - Call for applications
The organizer, CFI, is a French public agency under mandate of the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs to foster cooperation in the media sphere around the world and defend freedom of expression, press freedom and media independence.
The Forum’s primary goal is to unite and enhance collaboration among journalists, media experts, and official representatives addressing contemporary journalism issues in Central Asia.
In this regard, it will highlight the crucial issues of disinformation, adaptation to the rapid changes in journalism and audience expansion, as well as security. These phenomena complicate source verification, exacerbate confirmation bias and fuel anti-democratic strategies, underscoring the importance of media literacy and ethical journalism.
Each day will start with a panel session, introducing the day’s topic, speakers and partners. The second part of the day will feature master classes and workshops, involving group work, discussions, and interactive exercises.
Additionally, plenty of network opportunities will be provided to forum’s participants through one-on-one sessions and informal events.
Journalists interested in attending the Forum are encouraged to apply.
Selected candidates will receive invitations to participate, with travel, accommodation and per diem expenses covered. This includes participants from outside of Uzbekistan as well as Uzbek participants located outside of Tashkent.
Selected candidates will be contacted by April 24th by CFI and the French Embassy in Uzbekistan.
The anticipated attendance is 120-150 participants, including approximately 10 journalists from France.
