OUR PROJECTS
Guides, podcasts and programmes, and general info about aidóni.
aidóni works upstream, at the level of practice, standards and conversation between journalists and the communities they cover. This page gathers everything we’re working on now and what we’re preparing next.
Each project starts the same way: by bringing together people who too rarely talk to each other.

FUTURE PROJECTS
What we’re preparing
Our Next Collaborative Guide
After peacebuilding and displacement, our third guide will follow the same process: bringing journalists, communities, practitioners and experts together to turn what they know into practical recommendations for newsrooms. We’re looking for the partners and funding to make it happen, and we’re open to building it around a theme that matters to your organisation.
What’s the Word?
Our podcast on the language of crisis and conflict is coming back for a new season. Season 3 will be recorded at ARIJ19th Forum and focus on translation as an editorial choice. Each episode one word, asking who chooses it, what it hides, and what it does to the people it describes.
SIKILIZA
SIKILIZA is a three-year community journalism and GBV prevention project in Eastern DRC, built by a consortium of four organisations. It will train local journalists and young people to produce radio content that changes how violence, gender, and peace are discussed in their own communities
The Making of Community
Co-creating and amplifying stories of positive change from and with local communities, starting by listening to people who feel unheard or stereotyped by the media. The project is designed and waiting for the means to begin.
