Danish Student Delegation Visits JMI

(Jordan Media Institute) -- A student delegation from the institute Vallekilde in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, visited the Jordan Media Institute (JMI) as part of visits in which the JMI receives delegations from all over the world for communication and enriching discussions with its students.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> The director of training and projects at the JMI received the Danish delegation, which includes 36 students. He took them on a tour of various facilities and sections and reviewed the achievements and programs carried out by the JMI to serve its students and the community, as well as the objectives it seeks to achieve to set new standards for teaching journalism in Jordan and the Middle East.<br /> <br /> The Danish delegation visited the workshop the JMI is currently holding on producing and presenting radio morning shows within the UNESCO project for developing community radios, which is supported by the EU. They watched the production of a morning show by staff and volunteers at seven community radios in the south, north, and center of the Kingdom. One Danish student remarked that it resembled the morning show broadcast on the radio in her city.<br /> <br /> During its visit to the workshop, the guest delegation listened to the experiences of staff at community radios who spoke about the shows they present and the style that distinguishes their radios due to diverse social environments, traditions, and cultures.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> The JMI students and the guest delegation met at the main hall of the JMI where they discussed journalism and social and humanitarian issues, each in his or her city. The director of training at the JMI, who moderated the discussion, said that this discussion &quot;allows for interaction and communication between the JMI students and their counterparts at journalism institutes in other countries, strengthening professional friendships, and developing skills, especially by learning about different issues and how they are handled in other countries.&quot;<br /> <br /> Rasmus Beck, teacher at the Danish institute who is supervising the delegation, said that the discussion was exciting and beautiful and helped remove some fears and negative impressions held by some people. He expressed admiration of the resources, which he described as wonderful, offered by the JMI to its students.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> At the end of the visit, the JMI students performed some folk dances in a joyous atmosphere in the backyard. The guest students happily took part in them.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> It is worth noting that the JMI hosts visiting journalism students from American and Australian universities and gives its students the opportunity to make external cultural visits to a number of European countries, including Norway, Sweden, and Austria. This is in addition to taking part in long, specialized training programs in India. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br /> <br /> &nbsp;
