The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs awarded a $150,000 Project Grant to the Georgian Institute of Public Affairs (GIPA) under the AEECA/ESF Public Diplomacy Programs (CFDA 19.900). This grant will fund the implementation of the "Youth Journalism Development Program, Multimedia Literacy Skills and Civic Development for Ethnic Minority Youth" over a 12-month period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025.
The grant supports GIPA, a private university and non-profit educational institution in Georgia, to deliver training programs on journalism principles, media management, social media skills, multimedia journalism, English language, and social entrepreneurship. The funding will also allow GIPA to host Armenian and Azerbaijani students for master's degree programs in journalism and media management, covering costs such as tuition, stipends, health insurance, and internships. Additionally, GIPA will facilitate public talks, conduct media literacy campaigns to combat misinformation, and implement projects focused on promoting gender equality and opportunities for ethnic minorities in vocational education.
