Journalists from Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia can apply for a fully sponsored workshop on education policy, scheduled for March 23 to 25 in Prague, Czech Republic.

Transition Online (TOL), the Internet magazine and media development organization, is organizing the workshop. Journalists from non-EU countries, who need visas to travel to the Czech Republic, have until February 10 to apply. EU-based journalists have until February 17.

The journalists will learn about education issues in the region and get practical advice on how to cover them. The organizers will cover travel and lodging for 24 participants in the workshop, sponsored by the Open Society Institute (OSI) Education Support Program.

Working journalists should send their CV, a brief letter in English explaining why they wish to participate, and at least one published article to education@tol.org. Applicants should possess at least a basic knowledge of English.
