This week I’m conducting a series of #mediatraining workshops in #Conakry, #Guinea, at the invitation of the U.S. State Department’s TechCamp program. It is such an honor to join the trainer team of communications professionals & work with a great group of Guinean journalists & activists. As always, I taught a lot & learned even more.

Cette semaine, je mène une série d’ateliers de #formationauxmédias en #Guinée, à Conakry, à l’invitation du programme TechCamp du département d’État américain. C’est un honneur de rejoindre l’équipe de formateurs de professionnels de la communication et de travailler avec un groupe formidable de journalistes et militants guinéens. Comme toujours, j’ai beaucoup enseigné et encore plus appris.

“Dès mon arrivé au #Maroc en tant qu’étudiant #Fulbright, j’ai été profondément frappé de voir qu’une mosquée, une synagogue et une église pouvaient être situées dans un seul quartier – et que les divers fidèles qui fréquentent ces lieux de culte vivent et interagissent en tant que voisins. Au Maroc, le dialogue interreligieux est plus qu’un noble idéal, c’est un vrai mode de vie.”
