APPLY FOR THE 2022 SCIENCE JOURNALISM FELLOWSHIP
Science journalism fellowship and science communication
Our first science communication workshop was held in 2017 and saw 23 participants across 3 countries gathering at the Ghana science planetarium. The 3 day training workshop took participants through best practices in science communication when communicating to either the public or policy makers.
This year, we have created a training course refined over 5 years of conversations and science communication at G.H.Scientific across Ghana and the UK.
The two day training as part of the year long fellowship will be delivered by six carefully selected experts including Mr. Emmanuel Dogbevi (Ghana Business News), Dr. Hephzi Angela Tagoe (G.H.Scientific) and Emmanuel Kwasi Debrah (Multimedia Group).
