Journalism programme launched by Centro Caribe Sports for NOCs

After the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the agenda of the Caribbean Sports Centre's "Huellas" project will continue with the strengthening of the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) through the launch of the "I Training Programme for Sports Journalists and Reporters".

Centro Caribe Sports is the entity in charge of the Central American and Caribbean Games. It also aims to develop and protect sport in the member countries through their National Olympic Committees.

From 23 to 27 September 2024, the organisation will host this event with its member associations, with a rigorous academic programme and the presence of 16 national and international specialists at a hotel in the eastern part of the Dominican capital.

In this first phase, the training activity will be aimed at nominated participants from the National Olympic Committees, members of the Central American and Caribbean Sports Organisation.

The event will serve to evaluate different scenarios of technology, information and communication in sport in the region, particularly within the Olympic Movement.

"It is very important for us to launch this training programme, which will allow us to academically address issues of sports journalism and reporting in a world of digital challenges, providing our NOCs with tools to unify efforts across the diversity of each country. Sport always brings us together," said President Luis Mejía.

This seminar will cover topics that are relevant today, when leaders, coaches and athletes are part of the daily information content of the Olympic Movement.

The Technology, Information and Communication Support Programme for the National Olympic Committees, members of the Central American and Caribbean Sports Organisation, Caribbean Sports Centre, represents the promotion of the new communication philosophy "It's not me, it's us".

All this is based on research studies aimed at minimising the technological gaps between the NOCs and bringing us together on a dynamic platform that promotes positioning and virality, based on the reputation of our sports, athletes, leaders and coaches.
