Our Courses - Media Development Collective

Our training courses

We believe in breaking patterns and traditional ways of thinking, and, most importantly, in creating safe spaces for trying out new ideas. Our offerings all have one thing in common: they introduce the tools, methodologies, and mindset required to make an impact, and they are all practical and actionable.

Our Training Approach

We design, implement, and evaluate custom-built courses for individuals and organisations in media and international development.

Our offer includes:

Design, implement and evaluate custom-built courses for non-media professionals (e.g., communication staff of development NGOs) focusing on the use of media to target and educate audiences about relevant development issues.
Selection and deployment of relevant experts.
Collaborating with local partners (media and non-media organisations) to design and run custom-built training in-country and in the region for media professionals and communications professionals without a communications background (e.g., staff of NGOs).
The management, organisation and provision of administrative support for travel, accommodation, meals and ensuring the welfare of international trainers attending training events.
Implementing Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of training programmes, from baseline, post course evaluations.

To make the learning experience as impactful as possible, the training is characterised by:

Active learning with high ratio of activity, variety and participation.
Learning by doing.
Peer-to-peer learning.
Knowledge and skills, but also attitudes are considered.
Individualised learning.
Prototyping and producing outcomes.
