GetBasic/DeWereldMorgen.be heeft nog één plaats voor een vrijwilliger in het EVS-project. We geven je de mogelijkheid om praktijkervaring op te doen zodat je beter voorbereid bent op jouw toekomstige loopbaan.

De beste manier om de kloof tussen een opleiding en een baan te overbruggen, is stage lopen en relevante werkervaring opdoen.
Eén jaar lang kun je je onderdompelen in de journalistiek en multimedia, zodat je het verhaal van de wereld om je heen kunt vertellen en actief kunt deelnemen aan de democratisering van de media.
GetBasic is een non-profit organisatie, deels gefinancierd door de Vlaamse regering, die alles in het werk stelt om meer mensen actief te betrekken bij het maken van (multi)media. Hiervoor startten we met een onafhankelijke nieuwssite, DeWereldMorgen.be, en richtten we een mediacenter voor burgerjournalisten op.
Wij zijn op zoek naar een niet-Belgische, bij voorkeur Nederlandstalige vrijwilliger die droomt van een baan in de journalistiek. Aangezien we in België gevestigd zijn, is een elementaire kennis van het Frans nuttig, maar niet verplicht. Eerdere ervaring met digitale media is een pluspunt. We verwachten van alle potentiële vrijwilligers dat ze enthousiast zijn en bereid om initiatief en verantwoordelijkheid te nemen.
Het Europees Vrijwilligerswerk (EVS) is een uitwisselingsprogramma in het kader van Youth in Action van de Europese Commissie dat de mogelijkheid voor vrijwilligerswerk biedt aan jongeren tussen de 18 en 30 jaar oud.

The fourth World Journalism Education Congress (WJEC) will be held July 14-16, 2016, in Auckland, New Zealand. Auckland University of Technology (AUT) will host the Congress. The theme is “Identity and Integrity of Journalism Education.”
The World Journalism Congress meets every three years. Previous congresses have been held in Singapore (2007), Grahamstown, South Africa (2010) and Mechelen, Belgium (2013).
In announcing the meeting, Associate Professor Verica Rupar, Curriculum Leader in Journalism at AUT School of Communication Studies, said “Journalism education worldwide is at a crossroads. Meeting those challenges and adapting the curriculum to enrich the wider university environment are critical,” All meetings will be held in downtown Auckland. In addition to themed sessions, the congress will feature an open paper competition, professional and academic panels and small-group syndicates, each discussing a pressing issue in journalism education and making reports.
Joe Foote of the University of Oklahoma in the United States, the founding convener of the World Journalism Council that oversees the congresses, said that the selection of Auckland means that by 2016 the congresses will have met on four different continents “In addition to the worth of bringing together journalism educators from all over the world, the WJEC puts the spotlight on a particular region, allowing the flavor of journalism education in that area to shine through and scholars in that area to have a more visible platform for their work. We are pleased to take the congress not only to the region that includes New Zealand and Australia, but near more remote Pacific islands as well.”
The World Journalism Education Council is an informal coalition representing 32 academic associations worldwide that are involved in journalism and mass communication at the university level. By bringing organizations from six continents together, the Council hopes to provide a common space for journalism educators and to focus on issues that are universal in the field.
