Other Activities
Since 1987, One World Media has been working with insiders and experts across all media.
- One World Media Week presents a programme of workshops, panel discussions, funding opportunities, screenings and talks
- One World Media's educational work with students and universities enables the next generation of media professionals to engage with the wider world
- Fellowships provide professional development opportunities to broadcasters from the developing world and the UK, focusing on international dialogue and the promotion of media standards, human rights and development
- Through other activities, often with partner organisations, One World Media works with young people to raise awareness of the wider world in the UK; highlight media as a tool for development in fields like health, education, the economy, governance and human rights; and contribute to research, advocacy and lobbying for greater visibility in the media of international issues such as the Millennium Development Goals and the diverse cultures of the world.
In 2010, One World Media introduced the inaugural One World Media Week, a programme of events held in conjunction with the Awards. Its events range from panel discussions and lectures covering relevant issues in media and development, film screenings and a day for new and emerging media professionals interesting in documentary filmmaking and journalism, featuring free workshops, masterclasses, discussion and more.
One World Media also runs a Student Media Programme, with a range of university media courses around the UK. The programme aims to support and encourage tomorrow's journalists and documentary filmmakers to produce high-quality media coverage of the developing world through workshops and events covering a range of issues relating to reporting and filmmaking in developing countries. The project is currently funded by UKaid from the Department for International Development, as part of its Development Awareness Fund.
Since 1997, the charity has also run the One World Media Fellowships, which brings a group of senior broadcasters from overseas to the UK, where they exchange ideas and experiences with their counterparts. One World Media also runs a number of other events, including sessions at the Sheffield Documentary Festival.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142. This is no time to be flitting about the earth. I must cease from the activities proper to youth and begin to take on the dignities and gravities and inertia proper to that season of honorable senility which is on its way.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
