Help Children Tell Their Stories - Improve Your Interviews With Young People

Overview

Everyone has a story that deserves telling, including children but they can be notoriously hard to interview.

This new Master Class helps journalists connect with young people to encourage them to feel safe, open up and talk authentically in sometimes intensely emotional situations.

EBU Academy Faculty Member, Evie Daniels combines her unique set of skills as a child psychologist, trainer and actor to bring learning - and young people themselves - to life in this uniquely presented course.

She assesses young people’s behaviours as extrovert vs introvert and people-oriented vs task oriented, a model to support interviewers in speaking with children.

Evie was a guest speaker at an EBU Kids News Meeting which led to her being highly recommended to EBU Academy.

Who’s this course for:

All journalists wanting to make better interviews with children, from kids news reporters to domestic and foreign news correspondents.
