This media training session will be delivered by Talat Yaqoob FRSE who has many years of experience on media commentary and campaigning. This session will provide practical skills and knowledge on how to take part in media interviews including TV, radio and newspapers. We will discuss setting your own boundaries and will have opportunities for one to one practice. We will reflect upon issues within media (such as false equivalence and hostile interviewing) and how we can respond in such circumstances. The session will operate under Chatham House rules i.e. all shared discussion with participants remains within the session and will not be shared beyond it.

We are prioritising interest from women from racialised backgrounds. This does not exclude individuals who also fall under any other protected characteristics. There will be space to explore intersectionality of being a Muslim woman in media of any background.

**If you would benefit from the session but are not in a position to pay, please contact the Amina team confidentially through our social media, by email at mahrukh@mwrc.org.uk or phone on 0141 212 8420**
