As with all of our projects in Senegal and the Gambia, volunteers on the journalism project, whether at the radio or television centre) will work alongside local professionals. As such, you will have a great opportunity to discover more about the local cultures and to learn a lot about the country as a whole. As part of your work, you will be conducting interviews, writing articles or making programmes in English, even with listener participation! Working in a Senegalese or Gambian radio station, can prove to be a valuable experience.
