SUMMARY:Early Childhood Global Reporting Institute
DESCRIPTION:Children are the news – whether as the subjects of stories\, the targets of social policies\, or the victims of family violence\, natural disaster\, or war. \nTo foster more effective reporting on vulnerable children\, the Dart Center is launching the Early Childhood Reporting Initiative: Covering Trauma\, Resilience and the Developing Brain. This new initiative will provide journalists around the world with the knowledge\, skills and resources to incorporate emerging science and policy on early childhood development into their coverage. Workshops are planned for: New York\, USA; Amman\, Jordan; Abidjan\, Côte d’Ivoire; Mumbai\, India; and Rio di Janeiro\, Brazil. \nThe first globally-themed institute – a four-day program at Columbia Journalism School in New York City June 28 to July 1\, 2018 – is designed for reporters on any beat touching the first seven years of life\, whether schools or health\, war or social policy\, neighborhoods or refugees. It will focus on advancements in neuroscience and their implications for child development\, concentrating especially on vulnerable children living in extreme poverty and unstable environments. \nThis workshop will include panels and presentations by leading neuroscientists\, economists\, and child development experts\, as well as journalist-to-journalist seminars on how to translate these issues and themes into meaningful stories and relevant\, captivating news coverage. \nTwenty-five journalists from around the world will be selected for the institute. Roundtrip travel\, three-four nights of hotel lodging\, ground transportation and most meals will be covered by the Dart Center. \nThis three-year initiative has been underwritten by the Bernard van Leer Foundation\, the Jacobs Foundation\, the Maria Cecilia Souto Vidigal Foundation and The Two Lilies Fund. \nFor more information and to apply\, click here.
