The Solutions Journalism Lab II is set to engage at least 90 journalists from across Kazakhstan, providing them with the opportunity to explore and apply innovative approaches to journalism. These journalists will receive technical, financial, legal and mentorship support. Special attention will be given to regional Kazakh-speaking journalists to help them produce deeper and more serious content.
The application period for the Solutions Journalism Lab II project will be announced shortly.
What is the goal?
The "Solutions Journalism Lab- II" project aims to encourage objective coverage of socially important topics. Experience has shown that such reports stimulate governments and local authorities to take practical action, not just theoretic. This also contributes to the development of Kazakhstani media, attracting more readers and viewers. The first Solutions Journalism Lab project saw the works of 50 participants garner 1.5 million views and 120,000 comments in a short period.
What makes the project unique?
Training: Webinars and educational materials will be provided for all team members, experts, and journalists participating in the project. Experienced mentors will work with project participants to help them create informative and engaging articles in the genre of "Solutions journalism".
Publications: Works created in the genre of solutions journalism will be published in the media. These materials will be accessible to a wide audience and will contribute to the improvement of the areas covered in the articles.
Collaboration: Freelancers, bloggers, and influencers will also have the opportunity to participate in the project, especially if they have an established audience.
Benefits for Society: "Solutions Journalism" will benefit all citizens of Kazakhstan by providing them with objective and fact-based media coverage of the most pressing issues. The results of the project participants' work can also be utilized by companies employing innovative approaches in their respective fields, as their practices will be highly valued by a wider audience and will contribute to the sustainability of their businesses.
The "Solutions Journalism Lab - II" project promises to be a significant milestone in the development of free and responsible journalism in Kazakhstan. We invite everyone interested to participate and make our world a better place through solutions journalism.
