Journalistic competition: A bridge across“Confidence Building Measures between two banks of Nistru/Dniestr river”, a project funded by the Council of EuropeChisinau-Tiraspol, May 13. A journalistic competition opens today for reporters from both sides of the Nistru/Dniestr river. Local, regional and national journalists are invited to submit media report proposals on cross-river cooperation activities, which they consider as examples of measures contributing to build confidence between people. Competition is open until June 10, 2010. The proposals must identify a case study of cross-river cooperation in any field, be it cultural, social, economic, political… to be published this summer in broadcast, print or electronic format. An editor’s panel will select the best proposals mid-June. Winning journalists will take part in a seminar in Odessa late July to exchange on best practices and set up a platform for fast flow of information exchange. In August and early September, journalists will then carry out and publish stories. The authors of best stories will be rewarded by a trip to Strasbourg in autumn 2010. “A bridge across”, the two-step competition, is financed by the Council of Europe within the Confidence Building Measures for the Transnistrian Region. This project builds on previous experience in the implementation of a first set of pilot confidence-building measures. In 2008, a group of 10 journalists, five from each side of the Nistru/Dniestr river, participated to a joint information visit to the Council of Europe. They expressed the wish for follow-up joint activities.
“A bridge across” is implemented in the period of May-November 2010, by Trans Euro Media in partnership with AQA Logistic & Consulting. In 2009, Trans Euro Media carried out several Council of Europe sponsored projects in Moldova, including training for TeleRadioMoldova, the Broadcast Media Monitoring Mission during the July repeat elections with a Recommendation conference last November. AQA Logistic & Consulting provides implementation support to these projects. Press Release: English, Romanian, Russian Calls for Application: English, Romanian, Russian Contacts Dominique THIERRY
