Designed to address the shortage of journalism educators in Rwanda by building the university\u2019s capacity to teach journalism and to improve media standards in the country, the partnership \u2014 dubbed the Rwanda Initiative \u2014 provides access to visiting teachers from Canada and established media-training workshops for journalists.<\/p>\n

In January, project leader and assistant professor Allan Thompson, retired Carleton journalism professor Roger Bird, Montreal Gazette reporter Sue Montgomery, BJ\/87, and CBC producer Sylvia Thomson, MJ\/94, traveled to Butare as visiting lecturers. Now a new delegation \u2014 media trainer Michelle Betz, MJ\/94; CBC journalists Lucy van Oldenbarneveld and Andy Clarke, MJ\/92, BA\/88; Maclean\u2019s magazine chief photographer Peter Bregg, Carleton journalism professor Kanina Holmes, MA\/95, BJ\/92; and Robert Lacroix from Carleton\u2019s Instructional Media Services \u2014 are taking their turn.<\/p>\n

With financing from Carleton International, the Canadian International Development Agency and the Canada Fund for Africa, this phase of the project will place particular emphasis on public engagement with Canadians. It includes a media internship program for Carleton journalism students at a Kigali English-language newspaper and enrolment at the National University of Rwanda for two exchange students.<\/p>\n
