One of the Africa Centre's Strategic Aims is to 'engage the media in mobilizing informed African voices in Ireland when reporting on African issues, based on the power of the media as a key influence on development issues'.

To achieve this ambition the Africa Centre in collaboration with DTALK provide a tailor made course - Working With The Media.
