Berlin Scholarship Program in Germany 2023 is a unique yet an up to date opportunity to tackle the growing threats related to cyber security. The world has become a global village due to the use of communication technologies. However, these technologies can be misused as well. The four-month fully-funded scholarship in Germany is designed to cater to such growing cyber threats. In this workshop, the participants get to know the tools to overcome the breach of privacy as well as the actual fault lines and loopholes that lead to such a drastic breach. In addition, this scholarship in Europe is an extraordinary chance to have practice know-how about the importance and implementation of risk assessments and security planning.
A fully funded workshop for journalists in Europe has little impact. The second phase of the program comes as journalists acquire practical skills to protect themselves from emerging digital threats. At this stage, all participants create their own training concepts – with the help of a coaching team consisting of high-level experts. Once the concept is developed, participants become consultants and train journalists in their home countries with the same skills they learned during the Berlin exchange program.
The RSF Germany scholarship program has benefited many journalists around the world who have faced death threats for their journalistic skills and fair work in war zones and crisis zones. RSF Reporter Fellowship Program is one way to learn how to assess risks properly. The program will undoubtedly make participants realize that there is no such thing as “perfect security”, however, there are many methods and tools for a well-designed security plan. Apart from these technical learning programmes, the participants get to know each other, share a lasting bond and learn about different cultures living together and organize various social gatherings. Basically, the program stays with the participants not only for four months but for a lifetime.
