In post-conflict contexts, journalism plays a critical role in promoting peace and reconciliation. By shaping narratives that encourage understanding and dialogue, journalists can challenge divisive rhetoric, counter misinformation, and contribute to rebuilding trust within fractured societies. In Libya, where years of conflict have left deep societal and political divides, the role of ethical, conflict-sensitive journalism is more important than ever.

This training program is designed to equip Libyan journalists and bloggers with the tools and knowledge to report responsibly and constructively in such a challenging environment. The program begins with online seminars covering essential topics such as media ethics and responsibility, countering disinformation, data-driven journalism, and conflict analysis. These sessions provide participants with practical skills to navigate Libya’s complex media landscape and produce narratives that encourage dialogue and mutual understanding.

The training culminates in an intensive three-day workshop in Rome, focusing on investigative journalism, multimedia storytelling, and strategies for reporting on sensitive issues in conflict zones. Through hands-on exercises and discussions with experienced professionals, participants will gain deeper insights into the role of journalism in peacebuilding.

Through this training, we aim to empower Libyan journalists to become agents of positive change, using their platforms to foster informed public discourse and bridge societal divides. By promoting ethical and impactful storytelling, we hope to contribute to the broader goal of lasting peace and stability in Libya.
