While taking part in seminars on subjects including journalistic techniques and ethics, multimedia pieces, photo and video journalism, and reviews and analyses of creative creations, participants increase their expertise in the field of cultural journalism. A press tour of Egypt is also included, and the programme is accompanied by knowledgeable mentors.
