"Voices of Youth" Training Guidelines

documentary production was written by Project Director Bruce Hucko, a
photographer who brings an artistic eye and ear to radio sound
design, recording and interviewing skills. You can download the VOY
Guidebook from the Sound Partners for Community Health Toolkit on

PEACE CONFERENCE SEEKS TO UNITE MEDIA, CIVIL SOCIETY

PEACE CONFERENCE SEEKS TO UNITE MEDIA, CIVIL SOCIETY
--------------------------------------------
Journalists and civil society groups in Central Africa will converge for an upcoming conference in Tanzania to discuss ways they can collaborate on promoting a lasting peace in the region.

The Panos Institute-Paris has scheduled the conference for December 13 to 15 in Dar es Salaam. The International Freedom of Expression Exchange (IFEX) reports that the conference is aimed at encouraging better news coverage of peace initiatives in Central Africa.

The Panos conference is a follow-up to the recent International Conference on Peace, Security, Democracy and Development in the Great Lakes, sponsored by the United Nations and the African Union. At that meeting in November, also in Dar Es Salaam, 11 heads of state signed a declaration calling for an end to conflict in the region.

The December conference will encourage media professionals to reflect further on the four themes discussed at the earlier conference: peace and security; democracy and good governance; economic development, cooperation and regional integration; and human and social questions.

Organizers also hope that participants define and use some tools that could facilitate the peace processes in the region, such as information distribution networks or a charter for journalists. They also hope the participants develop a strategic plan for collaboration between media and civil society groups in the region.

Panos will select about 50 journalists from three target countries: Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The organizers also expect attendance from journalists in neighboring countries affected by the ongoing conflict, such as Uganda and Tanzania.
