You do not have to attend a physical place to volunteer with us which means you can volunteer from anywhere in the world for one of our offices in London, Brussels or Belgrade.
Overview
The Media Diversity Institute (MDI) is an international organisation devoted to working with the media to improve reporting on ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality and other diversity issues which can cause inequality, intolerance and disputes.
Details
There are three areas where you can volunteer and gain hands on experience with the support of our team.
Communication: You will spend time with our communication team, and you will have the opportunity to learn about diversity and inclusivity in journalism.
Projects: We currently have several projects around the world. You can join one or more projects and learn about media monitoring, reporting on diversity issues, research, advocacy, campaigning, and project management.
Finances: You will develop your financial skills and awareness and you will gain in depth knowledge of the financial aspect of non-governmental organisations.
