This week, we are in Plateau State facilitating intensive hands on sessions on Media for Peace with top voices in the state, from the grassroot level to social media influencers.

LIDA Network has successfully completed the 3-Days intensive Media for Peace training as local implementing partners for MiTC, targeted at media practitioners in Kaduna, under the PEACECORE II Project, funded by GIZ.

The training was designed to strengthen the role of journalists in peacebuilding reportage. We explored crucial topics such as Communication for Development (C4D) Media and Information Literacy, Fact Checking, Conflict Sensitivity Reporting for Peacebuilding and tools needed to verify the authenticity of news among others.
