The Thomson Reuters Foundation’s COVID-19 Crisis Reporting EAP Hub creates a space for journalists across several countries in Eastern Europe to gather virtually for training, knowledge sharing, expert sessions and network building, ensuring that they and their newsrooms remain on top of the story of the year. 

The main goal of the project is to help the participants improve their ability to cover the COVID-19 pandemic and its ongoing impact on Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine such as economic, political, social, financial, societal and personal fallouts from the pandemics.

The project will be flexible adjusting to the developments as they take place. It will equip participants with the skills to report on the pandemic and future global-scale disasters and events. Participants will be encouraged to create real life stories for their media and also to work with colleagues from other countries in order to produce cross border stories. Some mentoring in this area will be offered.
