We’re excited to share two upcoming opportunities from IJSC focused on feminist investigative journalism, collaboration, and learning.

Feminist Investigative Journalism Scholarship Programme

Applications are now open for our Feminist Investigative Journalism Scholarship programme, developed in partnership with SOAS, University of London.

The programme supports emerging and aspiring feminist investigative journalists interested in developing impactful cross-border investigative journalism projects while earning an MA in Global Data Journalism.

We will also be hosting an online information and Q&A session on Friday, 22 May at 1pm UK time, for prospective applicants interested in learning more about the programme, scholarship, and application process.

Register for the session here.

Applications for the scholarship close on Sunday 31 May 2026.

Workshop 04: How Journalists and Activists Can Work Together

As part of our Feminist Investigative Journalism Handbook workshop series, this session speaks to the need for stronger collaboration between those who uncover systemic injustice (activists) and those who broadcast it to the world (journalists). However, these two worlds often speak different languages.

This workshop provides communication leads with the blueprint for a new kind of partnership with journalists built on a relational model of collaboration.

Who is this for?

Journalists and journalism students as well as Communication leads, advocacy officers, and organizers within feminist and civil society organizations who are ready to move from “visibility” to “impact.”

This workshop will be led by Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah, IJSC Co-Founder/Co-Director, Communications Strategist and Writer.

The workshop will take place on Thursday 28 May at 2pm GMT.
You can register for the workshop here.

We hope to see many of you there, and encourage you to share both the workshop and scholarship opportunity with colleagues, collaborators, and networks who may be interested.

We look forward to sharing more workshops, conversations, and opportunities with you soon.

Thank you for being part of the IJSC community.

Best,
The IJSC Team
