The Thomson Reuters Foundation, with support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is organizing Generation Africa, a six-day training aimed at developing storytellers who can inspire change on a global platform.
The training will cover communication techniques, public speaking and presentation skills, effective use of social media, handling the media and more. Participants will then be paired with a mentor to work on individual areas of development and share their stories.
The second of three annual cohorts is accepting candidates. The training program will take place late February/early March 2020 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Applicants must submit a compelling personal story related to health, development and poverty reduction illustrating a challenge faced by others living in Africa.
