In the framework of the EU-funded project, “Media in Libya – Stability through Reconciliation”, Deutsche Welle Akademie is supporting the Libyan Central Committee for Municipal Council Elections (CCMCE) in developing communication guidelines to increase awareness of the local elections and the important role media has to play in this process. A first training of the CCMCE members took place in Tunis from 28 to 30 May 2018.

CCMCE training is supplemented by workshops for journalists. The focus is on increasing knowledge about the elections, working on journalistic and public relations ethics, and teaching journalistic skills such as preparing for a press conference, giving interviews, establishing a media action plan or sensitizing the public to participate at the municipal elections.

“Media in Libya – Stability through Reconciliation” is implemented by Deutsche Welle Akademie, Germany’s leading organisation for international media development, and the Institute for War & Peace Reporting (IWPR).
