FOJO THE MELTING POT

Fojo has been holding seminars for many years now. A number of journalists from MENA have already taken part in this training course but together with colleagues from Asia, Africa or Latin America. In fact it is the first time Fojo gathers such a  big number of trainees exclusively from the MENA region. Journalists of different races and religions, from Algeria, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Morocco, Iraq and Jordan, meeting in a Scandinavian country, camping together for three weeks, exchanging experiences and thoughts. There have been moments of tension, moments of joy and moments of serenity. There have been discussions over themes that tore us apart and themes that brought us closer, even though we all agreed upon the fact that our difference is not a weakness, it is a richness. Thank you Fojo, you have been a real melting pot.
