Description

The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi is pleased to announce an open competition for a Media Education Program (MEP) – “Strengthening Journalism Education in Georgia.” U.S. non-profit/non-governmental organizations and accredited American higher education institutions may submit proposals to manage a year-long project to support the professional development of Georgian media educators from public and private higher education institutions through a robust professional study tour at U.S. schools of journalism, media and mass-communication, with complementary site visits to U.S.-based media organizations and journalism education associations. Additional means for achieving objectives of the program may include participation in annual conventions or conferences promoting excellence in journalism education. The applicant should work closely with PAS throughout the grant period to identify Georgian participants. The project will award $250,000 to defray the costs of a two-week intensive study tour for up to 18 participants. Applicants should include provisions for non-English speaking participants and secure international travel insurance for duration of the study tour.
