The Jordan Media Institute (JMI) hosted a group of 14 students from Coventry University (UK) in a cultural exchange activity<span dir="RTL">.</span> The joint activity, organized by JMI, aims to exchange experiences and knowledge between JMI’s Master’s students and Coventry students through open dialogues and panel discussions.<br />
<br />
The one-day programme, which came as part of Coventry students’ participation in the “Majid AlSadi Changing Lives" programme, included sharing ideas between the students relating to similar experiences in Jordan and the UK.<br />
The students discussed the issue of gender equality versus gender fairness, taking into account all related aspects affecting their personal and professional lives.<br />
<br />
The Syrian refugees’ situation in Jordan was another topic of interest due to the huge impact this crisis has on the economic situation in Jordan and the region, in addition to its social and environmental implications, including natural resources, water, infrastructure, education and local communities.<br />
<br />
In addition, the students conducted a comparison between the educational system in Jordan and the United Kingdom, as well as a brainstorming session about how to improve the educational system in Jordan with the available resources.<br />
<br />
At the end, the students displayed the results and recommendations they reached during this cultural exchange activity. They also suggested some future networking activities for exchanging experiences and offering possible opportunities and exploring mutual interests.<br />
<br />
This activity came in line with JMI’s academic goals in providing opportunities for exposure and cross cultural interaction to its Master’s students in Journalism and New Media, aiming to develop their skills as future journalists<span dir="RTL">.</span><br />
