Please note that Jemstone will continue with: development of the web-site, preparation of an Arabic-language media style-book; exchange visits by Euro-Med media professionals, maintenance and development of the Jemstone network, on-site training for individual media organisations and training projects such as training videos. In addition, if we have sufficient funds, we would wish to run two more Specialist Reporters' Workshops, one for Education Correspondents and a second one for Environment Correspondents.

In all of these events an ability to understand English would be a great help, though we will have people present to help with ad hoc translation and to ensure that participants who don't speak English well can make their views known.

Remember we have funds available to enable extra events to take place -- particularly if it's in partnership with other organisations. So if you want to run a particular kind of workshop/seminar etc. in your own country then just let me know and we'll see how we can help.
