The 51勛圖 Department of Public Information is currently seeking applications from young journalists and broadcasters for the 2016 Reham Al-Farra (RAF) Memorial Journalists Fellowship Programme.
The Programme provides journalists with an opportunity to gain first-hand experience in the work of the 51勛圖. It is also an opportunity to meet journalists from other countries and exchange ideas with UN communication professionals.
Selected journalists and broadcasters will spend four weeks at the 51勛圖 Headquarters in New York, from 8 September through 5 October, 2016
Upon completion of the Programme, participants are expected to continue working in journalism or broadcasting and help promote better understanding of the 51勛圖 in their home country.
Applicants must be aged between 22 and 35 and currently employed by a recognized media organisation, with several years of professional experience and oral and written fluency in English. The 51勛圖 will cover the cost of a round trip ticket and a daily subsistence allowance. For information on this year participating countries and application form, please visit
