About Atölye BİA (BİA Workshop)
Under the roof of IPS Communication Foundation / bianet, Atölye BİA offers workshops to journalists, the journalists put out of work, students of communication faculties and everyone who wants to do journalism with the aim of popularizing rights-based journalism.
Atölye BİA, or BİA Workshop, aims to contribute to the protection and development of rights-based journalism by focusing on the demands for rights-based news reporting practices, facilitating exchange of experiences with bianet editors, increasing internship opportunities and enabling dismissed journalists and academics to come together again.
Atölye BİA has been designing the duration, content and programs of its trainings with a structure based on self-learning and rights-based content and opportunities to offer multidisciplinary curricula in line with the needs and demands of its participants. Consisting of two phases, basic and thematic, Atölye BİA programs contain more frequent and long-term training modules and a supervision support that continues after the modules.
With Atölye BİA, the trainings on basic journalism and women-, children- and human rights-based journalism, which were organized by the IPS Communication Foundation in 2002-2007, and "From the Class to the Newsroom" programs, which were held in 2008-2017, have started to be available throughout the year and open to everyone who is interested.
