European Broadcasting Union (EBU) members, radio and television journalists as well as cameramen may enroll in a program to help journalists deal with stress from September 15 to 19 in Munich, Germany.

The course, the Hostile Environment Safety Training program, will address the work of journalists in hostile environments and aims to help them recognize their strengths and weaknesses.

Participants will learn essential skills and tools for dealing with stress, keeping safe and healthy as well as preventing danger.

The safety program was established by EBU International Training in 2004 to address the importance of safety in conflict zones.
