MEDIA: Oscar van Leer Fellowships for journalists covering children's issues

The Bernard van Leer Foundation is accepting applications for the 2009 Oscar van Leer Fellowships for journalists. The fellowship consists of a four-week, expenses-paid training course in The Netherlands covering journalism and children's issues.

This is a great opportunity for young journalists to further their general professional development and to establish for themselves a particular area of expertise.

The fellowships are open to journalists in Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, the Caribbean, and the Indian region of Orissa. Applicants can work in any form of media, including print, radio, television or web. The closing date is August 18th 2009.
