We are offering travel bursaries of up to £1,500 for employees of Public Media Alliance member organisations to visit another country (except the UK) for approximately one to two weeks.
Deadline: Closed until October 2017
The bursary is provided for a media project that would benefit the bursar’s organisation, society and meet the objectives of the Public Media Alliance and the bursary-funding organisation.
As part of the project the successful participant will also be required to plan an exchange between their own Public Media Alliance member organisation and that in the country they intend to visit. On completion of the project the bursar is required to submit a report, pictures and an account of their experiences.
In 2016 professionals from Bangladesh, Canada, Guyana, Isle of Man, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, St Vincent & the Grenadines, Tonga and Trinidad & Tobago travelled to Australia, Cameroon, France, Singapore, Ghana, Jamaica, Montserrat, New Zealand and St. Lucia.
Find out more about our previous bursars and their highly successful exchanges.
