This project aims to engage and train journalists to improve their understanding and coverage of the European Union’s Common Fisheries Policy, related issues and reforms which will stimulate a more informed public debate. Two 3-day conferences in France and Germany bring together local media and experts ranging from environmental journalism specialists, lobby groups, research institutes to fish producers.

This project aims to enhance the capacity of media professionals and the main Iraqi electoral and regulatory institutions to cover and monitor the upcoming elections in a professional, independent and timely manner.

Over the last 6 years, 1500 journalists from dozens of countries have been trained and have produced over 2000 stories during the project's activities. The projects participants build their capacity through training workshops, support for roduction and distribution, dispersing small grants and fellowships, research, and the development of curricula and briefing materials in order to improve their coverage of environmental issues and challenges.
