The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is pleased to offer a mentorship programme for aspiring journalists from all over the world. Refugees, internally displaced people or stateless people currently studying journalism, communications or a related field are welcome to apply.
The goal of this programme is to help refugees tell their stories – or any story that is important to them – to the world.
The programme will bring together internal staff, external media partners and academics to help provide networking and training/educational opportunities during the course of the programme.
