Training

Since joining Panos London in 2005 I have been regularly conducting media-training with photographers, journalists and videographers. In recent years I have been engaged with training journalists and activists based in Southeast Asia.
Working with communities in developing countries I have also empowered them to explore Participatory Video, to give voice to their concerns.

Media Training

For many years I have been engaged with improving the media skills primarily of journalists from countries in the developing South. Programmes were often held parallel to inter-governmental summits. For example, intensive hands-on workshops and training sessions at the international climate change negotiations, took place over a two-week period, as part of a longer fellowship programme.
