LOCAL — Leveraging Portuguese-Spoken Media and Journalism Training with Solutions Journalism

In early 2022, I won one of the 16 LEDE fellowships awarded by the Solutions Journalism Network (SJN) for 2022, with the LOCAL project selected from around 250 international applications. LOCAL – Leveraging Portuguese-Spoken Media and Journalism Training aims to create a database that makes available pieces of solutions journalism developed in Portuguese and an e-learning course on solutions journalism, also in Portuguese. The project also includes partnerships with local CSOs and the introduction of the topic in curricular units.

Release date: October 2022.

European Cooperation Project on Disinformation and Fact-Checking Training

A consortium of eight European institutions, led by Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, developed a curricular program on disinformation and fact-checking aimed at professionals and students of any area, available in open access, in an e-learning regime.
