STORYWORKS AT CENTENNIAL COLLEGE
Centennial College Journalism students have contributed to the Global Summitry Project since 2018, including providing media coverage from T20 and G20 Summit meetings in Buenos Aires as well as the Global Solution Summit (GSS) from Berlin.
This program at The Story Arts Centre recognizes that ‘experience is everything’. In partnership with the Global Summitry Project (GSP) StoryWorks provides chosen journalism students with ‘bite-sized’ industry experience. These students join GSP in its various global governance initiatives interviewing experts and providing background stories for the ongoing Projects.
StoryWorks Interviews 2021
Due to the pandemic, the StoryWorks student journalists were unable to travel to any of the targeted Summits. Nevertheless, these journalists were assigned to interview former officials and political figures that have been involved with the China-West Dialogue (CWD) as well as the Agenda 2030 Project. The following interviews are the most recent results of their efforts. A special thanks and shoutout goes to Professor Tim Doyle who heads up the Journalism StoryWorks Project at Centennial College and who advised these student journalists. I am sure you will find these interviews revealing and valuable.
