January 9 is the deadline for experienced journalists in the Southern African region to apply for a train-the-trainers course, scheduled for March 6 to 17 in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The program aims to strengthen the network of trainers in Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries, create new ideas, and allow the participants to share their experience. The course will address evaluation methods, how to teach specific subjects, training in the African context, and curriculum development, among other topics.

The Institute for Further Education of Journalists (FOJO) and the Southern African NSJ Media Training Trust are organizing the event, with support from the Swedish Agency for International Development (SIDA).

To apply or for more information, contact Katarina Axengard of FOJO at katarina.axengard@hik.se, telephone +46-480-44-640, or visit http://www.fo.hik.se.
