Transitions Online (TOL), a Prague-based international publishing and media development organization, is currently offering a distance course, focused on religion coverage designed for journalists and bloggers.

The course on Religion and the Media was developed by TOL, specifically for the region of Central Asia. It aims to develop critical thinking, speaking, reading and writing skills of journalists.

Applications will be accepted from media professionals and citizen journalists from Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan). Citizens of those countries who currently resident elsewhere are also invited to apply.

Participation for the five-week course is free of charge and the working language is Russian. Participants who successfully finish the course will be awarded a TOL certificate. Those with the highest grades will be eligible for fully-funded scholarships at TOL journalism training courses in Prague.

In addition, successful participants will be offered an opportunity to become paid contributors on Central Asian issues to TOL’s award-winning Internet magazine http://www.tol.org. This project is funded by The National Endowment for Democracy.
