On 27 November, EU Deputy Head of Delegation @BrigandiRaphael visited the Gambia Academy of @SonaJobarteh. This ambitious pilot project aims to develop an holistic approach to education, that includes also arts and culture as engines for citizenship and professional fulfillment.
@EUinTheGambia Deputy Head, Raphaël Brigandi, said EU recognises media's critical role in shaping public opinion, fostering democracy. The prevalence of sexual harassment in the media undermines core democratic values, impedes professional growth & personal well-being, he said.
We are conducting a 2-day training for media managers & editors on preventing sexual harassment - supported by @Int_IDEA & @EUinTheGambia as part of activities under the Consolidation of Democratic Dispensation in The Gambia (CODE project).

Parce qu’elle touche au cœur des gens, la culture peut contribuer à trouver des solutions aux conflits là où les outils traditionnels de la politique n’y parviennent pas.
