This summer, the Human Rights Media Institute in collaboration with many organizations is proud to present world renowned journalist and author, Robert Fisk in a national fundraising tour. Robert Fisk, internationally recognized journalist for the Independent of London, speaks on his new book "The Great War for Civilization: The Conquest of the Middle East". The tour has been organized to raise funds for the Under the Olive Tree radio exchange program. UOT in collaboration with I'lam the Palestinian-Israeli media center in Nazareth within the 1948 territories and the International Middle East Media Center (IMEMC), a Palestinian initiative based in Beit Sahour within the 1967 territories, will be sending two Palestinian youth from Canada to intern in Palestine and bringing two Palestinians from Palestine to intern with four radio stations in North America. The first leg of the exchange program will start in July and we need your help. The Human Rights Media Institute has also initiated a print publishing project that enables us to train youth from various communities, including Palestinians, on the use of professional print presses. Through this program we are publishing Canada's only student run magazine, Siafu. Students are learning the A-Z's of print publishing and are also producing content that at the moment reaches all campuses in Montreal and soon will expand to other cities. |
