CR and the European Parliament Seminar, 2004
13th and 14th April 2004, Brussels
CIRCOM Regional and the European Parliament are jointly organising a Seminar for 10 new members of EU which will be related to the European elections 2004.
The Seminar should be attended by Journalists or Editors who in your Television organisation report on the elections. The intention of the Seminar is that the participants get to know the functioning of the European Parliament, the importance of the elections, the technical possibilities that are at the disposal to the journalists.
During the Seminar the participants will have the possibility to use technical capacities for making the reports, free of charge. The European Parliament is trying to arrange a meeting with the President of the European Parliament, Mr Cox, who would answer the questions of the participants-Delegates.
The travel and subsistance expenses of the Delegate from each country will be borne by the European Parliament. The daily allowance has been set at 100 euro. Delegates are kindly requested to arrange their journey by the most economical route.
Travel expenses will only be reimbursed upon presentation of documentary evidence of the sum actually paid (invoice). Delegates are requested to book the hotel accommodation themselves. With the daily allowance (100 euro) the delegates will pay the hotel.
Would you please give the name of your Delegate, soonest possible, to:

The Delegates should have their Press Card with them and they should bring a brief description of how their television organisation intends to cover the European elections.
Since this is the first time that we are making a Seminar together with the European Parliament, you are kindly requested to choose the right candidates, if not from your Regional stations then from the central station. This is of course one additional benefit for CIRCOM Regional.
For any additional question or problem please contact Branka Prazic (+385 1 634 3690) or Marija Nemcic (+385 98 278 194).
Introduction to Video Journalism workshop 2004
October 2004 the time, Budapest the place that saw the launch of the first Circom Regional Introduction to Video Journalism workshop. Seven delegates from Romania, Croatia, Germany, Slovenia, Poland and Serbia and Montenegro attended the six day training held at the European Youth Foundation's building in Budapest.
The course covered both aspects of journalism and skills training. The cameras used were Sony PD 150s and the editing software Avid Xpress DV.
A lot of theory and practise were crammed into the six days and the value of that was evident with the seven journalists each completing a short story researched, filmed and edited by themselves. The stories ranged from a portrait of a vernicular railway operator to breeding rare rhinoceros in captivity, as well as children who operated a railway line by themselves and a wheelchair dance display by disabled people.
All the delegates who attended the course were adamant that this short workshop would change the way they approached their work in the future and they were all looking forward to their next assignments as video journalists.
Circom Regional will be looking at ways to run further courses of this nature and would ask anybody wishing to participate in the future to make their interest known to Karol Cioma, Circom Regional Training Project Manager This email address is being protected from spambots.
