Opportunity Information: Apply for CB60019PAS004
The YSEALI Regional Workshop on Citizen Journalism and Free Flow of Information is a U.S. Department of State (U.S. Mission to Cambodia, Public Affairs Section) grant opportunity to fund one organization to design and run a four-day regional workshop in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The project is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the awardee would work closely with the U.S. Embassy rather than operating fully independently. The workshop is planned to include arrival and departure days within the four-day timeframe and is offered pending the availability of funds.
The core purpose of the workshop is to convene roughly 50 to 70 Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) members from across ASEAN countries plus Timor-Leste, including 10 participants from Cambodia. The target audience is young leaders who already have some exposure to journalism, citizen journalism, blogging, communications, or who are pursuing careers in those fields. By bringing this group together, the program is intended to strengthen regional networks and encourage practical dialogue on why transparency, accountability, and good governance matter, and how open access to information supports better public services and development outcomes.
Programmatically, the workshop centers on building participants skills and shared standards around responsible citizen journalism. It emphasizes how to document and report newsworthy events accurately, how to raise public awareness about credible citizen journalism practices, and how to promote critical thinking in an environment where misinformation and disinformation can spread quickly. Another major deliverable focus is helping participants think through ways to create resources or platforms that expand public access to important information and share best practices, reinforcing the idea that information access is a public good.
The curriculum also highlights the role of the press and media as the "Fourth Estate" in democratic societies, particularly in holding elected governments accountable and ensuring the public has access to reliable information. Participants are expected to engage not only in classroom-style learning but also in applied, experiential activities that reflect real-world challenges citizen journalists face, such as verification, evidence-based reporting, and ethical decision-making.
Methodologically, the workshop is designed to be highly interactive. The opportunity description calls for a mix of informational sessions and panel discussions, small group discussions and collaborative group work, participant presentations, and contributions from journalism speakers. It also anticipates site visits where participants can practice citizen journalism skills in the field, with possible travel to locations such as Siem Reap or Sihanoukville as part of the hands-on component.
