Benefits

The winners benefit from a one-month training course in Paris. The scholarship will be awarded on November 2 during a special broadcast on RFI.

Ten candidate journalists and ten candidate technicians will be selected on file and then invited to follow a distance training course from Monday 5 to Friday 24 October. These remote workshops will lead to the production of a report for journalists and an “all sound” element for technicians.
