The two-day event will bring together journalists and media practitioners, public communication experts, policy makers and government officials, academicians, civil society and development partners, as well as Journalism and Communication students  from Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Namibia, Zambia and Germany. 

Lecturers at the Department of Journalism and Communication, Makerere University, are undergoing a training aimed at enhancing their capacity to teach online and multimedia journalism and production.

The four-day training, conducted by Deutche Welle Akademie, aims at equipping the lecturers with skills to enable them to teach journalism in the changing new media environment. Such trainings are necessitated by the fact that journalism and communication students need to learn how to combine text, photographs, audio and video for multimedia platforms.
