AGEMI events

AGEMI has designed an outreach and dissemination strategy to ensure that the richness of the project gains maximum visibility with a diverse audience and reaches out to different stakeholder communities. 

Outreach and dissemination activities include meetings of media professionals and media organizations through the EFJ/IFJ and COPEAM transnational networks, as well as presenting at academic conferences and network meetings such as those of the UNESCO-promoted Global Alliance for Media and Gender (GAMAG) and the UNESCO University Network on Gender Media and ICTs (UNiTWIN).
