OC Media is proud to announce that the first edition of the Open Caucasus Laboratory for Journalism (or OC Lab, for short!) will be held in Tbilisi on 6–12 April and 25–31 May 2020. Applications for OC Lab are open to young people from the South Caucasus with no practical experience in journalism, but with a strong interest in the discipline. The lab will include hands-on training on the basics of media literacy, journalistic genres and writing styles, interviewing techniques, ethics, and much more. The training will be heavy on practical exercises to make sure that a) participants acquire real skills, not only theory, and b) so the learning process is fun. The training will consist of two modules which are obligatory to attend. Following the second module, each participant will receive a small financial grant to work on a journalistic story of their own. They will have a chance to work with OC Media’s editors, who will choose which stories will be published on our platform. We hope you will use this opportunity to make your international journalistic début.
