In spite of significant progress over the past 20 years in increasing the representation of women in all sectors of public life (including the media), the portrayal of women in the Moroccan media today remains largely negative and stereotyped. In response to this, Morocco's journalism training institution, ISIC, will integrate gender perspectives in its journalism curricula with the aim of contributing to a culture of equality in the Moroccan media. In doing so, ISIC will use the models developed by the UNESCO Office in Rabat, based on the UNESCO Model Curricula for Journalism Education, and implement these within its audiovisual and print-media courses. Two training workshops will be held for 4 lecturers and 6 members of ISIC's administrative staff with the aim of offering students and practicing journalists training which takes account of gender issues and therefore leads to the emergence of a more egalitarian society which is respectful of women's rights. In conducting this training, ISIC will further establish its position as a reference point in media and communication training in Africa by improving the skills of its teaching and administrative staff and therefore improving the standard of journalism education being delivered. OBJECTIVE To run training workshops on gender for lecturers in ISIC's audiovisual and print-media departments to enable gender perspectives to be integrated into its teaching programmes.
