The Media21 Global Journalism Network is seeking applications for its next Global Issues media workshop (Nov. 24-Dec. 7, 2008), this time on the challenges of migration in the 21st century.

The first part will take place in Geneva, Switzerland (three days) with expert panels involving key organizations such as IOM, UNHCR, ICRC, MSF, World Economic Forum etc. on diverse aspects of migration, refugees and trafficking affecting host regions such as Europe or North America but also source countries ranging from Mali and Salvador to Afghanistan.

This will be followed by three days in Andorra as part of the 3rd Future of Europe Summit providing access to lead European and other international business, academic, NGO and policy representatives. Participating journalists have the option to take part in a week-long field trip either to northern/western Africa or eastern/central Europe.
