IVLP Impact Award Project: Workshop for Journalists on Discrimination and Racism in the Workplace in Order to Create Awareness-Raising Content

Twenty-five journalists participated in a five-session workshop on "How to Tell Stories to Combat Social Injustice and Discrimination in the Workplace," which provided training on effectively addressing issues of discrimination and racism. The sessions addressed the challenges of labor inclusion faced by vulnerable communities, including Afro-descendants and indigenous communities, the LGBT community, migrants, persons deprived of liberty, and women.

The culmination of the project was the publication of articles written by nine journalists who crafted compelling narratives focusing on individuals with disabilities, migrants, members of the LGBT community, indigenous communities, and women facing vulnerability in the workforce.

"First and foremost, I want to express my immense gratitude for the learning opportunity that the workshop provided. It truly helped me gain new perspectives, especially in the sessions on migration and sexual diversity. I found it to be one of the best professional development experiences I've had this year." – Project Participant
