SURINAME’s MEDIA GEARING UP FOR THE CSME

A group of media practitioners and government Communications Officers from Suriname are expected to benefit from a training programme next week as preparation for the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME) is accelerated in that Member State.

From 30 March – 02 April a team of resource persons from the CARICOM Secretariat will conduct the four-day seminar, which will focus on capacity building in media related skills and techniques for the accurate transfer of information on the CSME and the CCJ to various local audiences.
