About the Program
The Media Mentoring Program provides a unique opportunity for these media professionals to refine their skills and develop impactful content that highlights Roma narratives. Over a two-month period, each mentee will work closely with an experienced mentor from a mainstream media outlet. Mentors will guide mentees in producing professional, high-quality media content that promotes positive representation of Roma communities and challenges stereotypes.
Through this mentorship, participants will gain hands-on experience, access insights into mainstream media workflows, participate in weekly progress check-ins, and benefit from peer-to-peer learning opportunities. To support their participation, mentees will receive a subsistence allowance of 1400 EUR (total gross amount for two months).
ERIAC Serbia congratulates the selected mentees for their dedication to reshaping media narratives and fostering greater inclusivity in the media landscape.
