TRAINING
AsiaWorks is committed to sharing its expertise with journalists and communications professionals throughout the region.
As an independent working news organization, our training courses are tailored and targeted to participants’ specific needs.
We are interested in outcomes, not just outputs, and we have a reputation for achieving tangible results.
Our clients include major UN and private non-profit aid agencies, governments and broadcasters and we have mentored journalists from a wide range of backgrounds and experience levels across Asia.
Our workshops cover everything from the basics -- interviewing, scripting, writing press releases, to the complex – articulating and communicating key messages to the media, contact building, developing and promoting global communications strategies.

* Freeland Foundation for Human Rights and Wildlife:
AsiaWorks has worked with Freeland over a number of years. Initially working on The “Crime Scene Wild” series for Planet Green Network, we also produced a public service announcement broadcast internationally about wildlife trafficking. Following its success, we collaborated to produce “Surviving Together’, a short documentary film showcasing Freeland’s alternative livelihood program and its success in reducing poaching from Khao Yai National Park in Thailand. In 2010, Freeland’s brave persistence in targeting the illegal international wildlife smuggling trade will be developed into a series “Planet Earth’s Most Wanted” to be screened on National Geographic Channel.
