Watching the heart-breaking images coming out of Ukraine it’s impossible to stand by and do nothing. When I was younger I might have driven across Europe and lent a hand to the relief effort or helped raise money and awareness as I did alongside Oxfam with the BBC in Rwanda in the early 1990s. My effort today seems rather weak by comparison. But I hope it’s not ineffectual. Because I believe in the power of words. I believe words can be used to make the world a better place.
So if you’re planning on using, or are already using, the media to positively influence change around the Ukraine conflict we’re offering free broadcast media training. No catches. Free for all. For as long as the conflict lasts. We’re running sessions on a Thursday or a Friday afternoon every week with additional dates being released every seven days. Please note that registration is required via our eventbrite page.
