19 - 20 May 2008

This year, Beijing will become the third Asian city (after Tokyo and Seoul) to host the Olympic Games. It will be the first time that China - a country that is currently undergoing wide-ranging economic and social changes - has hosted such a major event. Casa Asia and the CIDOB Foundation are organising a series of training workshops for journalists who will be covering the event. The workshops will be comprised of four practical sessions divided up over two days in which we will be attempting to take an overview of modern-day China, from its international relations and policy to its economic context and social structure; we will also be covering experiences in terms of communication and the Olympic Games, as well as those of journalists who have worked previously in this incredibly complex country.
