I am John Fray, Deputy General Secretary of the NUJ, and I am writing to you as an NUJ member to invite you to apply for a place on the training session 'International Development and Poverty Reduction'.
This course is designed for the NUJ general membership, lay and professional officers. The training forms part of an NUJ project to raise awareness among members and journalists at large on issues of international development.
The aims of the training are to:
- Explore the concepts of international development and its relationship to the concept of globalisation
- Identify the relevance for us as journalists and trade unionists
- Build understanding of the significance of the Millennium Development Goals
- Share ideas on what we can do to international development as the means by which poverty can be reduced.
- Look at the role of the media in the fight against world poverty.
I hope that you are as keen as I am to play a role in the struggle to make poverty history and I hope that our programme will play a role in helping you to do so.
The course runs from 5pm on Friday December 1 to lunchtime on Sunday December 3. Meals, light refreshment and accommodation will be supplied for the duration of the course but places are limited so if you wish to participate, please register with David Ayrton (davida@nuj.org.uk)
