Circom Briefing in Brussels, 2006
- Details
9th - 12th October 2006
Circom-Regional celebrates the "Second Circom-Briefing" in 2006.
Participants from sixteen different countries took part in the four day long Open Days.
Eleven workshops and discussions were organised with the support of the "Committee of the Regions". 38 Circom Colleagues members and 13 Journalists from Circom-Stations were registered for the briefing.
The workshops participants included Mr. Delebarre, President of CoR, Mr. Barnier former Foreign Minister of France, Members of the Cabinet from Javier Solana, his Special Representative for the Middle East Peace Process and the Spokesperson for the EU High representative for CFSP. As well as Representatives of the different EU Institutions. All participants attended the midday briefing by Commissioner Hübner.
For the first time a work shop called "Best of Prix Circom" was held. Mr. Walter, a German trainer of TV, presented an analysis of the Prix entries. This workshop looked at examples of entries and examined the components which make successful programmes.
(A DVD for all Circom-Members will be presented during the meetings in Bilbao in November)
Beside the Circom-Briefing, the CoR also provided a TV-Studio placed near the Investors-Café, this was available to all journalists free off charge. The service included the use of four camera-crews and editing-suites. Circom-Reginal supported the initiative by providing Standby- Journalists" for stations who could not send a Journalist to Brussels.
During the Open Days we produced more than three hours of transmitted programming.
During the debriefing all of the Circom-participants agreed that it was an effective, important and fruitful presentation and expressed a desire to provide a 3rd Circom-Briefing in 2007.
The content of this will be discussed at a future Circom Board-meeting.
