More than 100 young female journalism students came together at the Department of Communication and Journalism at Chittagong University in Bangladesh for a full-day dialogue on leadership, newsroom management, gender equity and resilience – skills essential for the future of Bangladeshi media.

With inspiring guest lectures and active participation, the dialogue on female leadership highlighted just how important it is to empower the next generation of journalists:
“I never thought a workshop could change someone this way. Throughout the day, our guests shared such meaningful words that deeply inspired me. Not just me, everyone present felt encouraged and motivated by them. I wished they could keep talking without worrying about the time; the day felt truly special. Special thanks to the organisers, we are grateful,” said Isfakun Nesa, a fourth year BSS Honours student at the Department of Communication & Journalism.
Fojo reaffirmed its commitment to supporting young women in media through the EU-funded AGILE programme, helping ensure a more inclusive, capable and resilient newsroom culture for the years ahead.
