A three-month immersion awaits around a hundred journalists from as many countries. This immersion is part of an exchange program organized by China's International Center for Communication and Press (CIPCC), in collaboration with the Chinese Association for Public Diplomacy (CApd). Two participants come from the Indian Ocean region, including one from Madagascar. This is the second edition of the exchange program aimed at journalists from "Global South" countries, as indicated by Yu Lei, director of CIPCC. The goal is to allow them to discover China firsthand, to immerse themselves in Chinese culture and society, its institutions and public entities, to better understand the country's transformation process. The idea is also to enable participating journalists to understand how the Chinese media system operates. The program includes academic courses at Renmin University of China in Beijing, conferences, meetings and exchange sessions with Chinese officials and field visits. The program, as Yu Lei emphasizes, also aims to strengthen exchanges between Chinese media and those of the "Global South". The CIPCC is precisely a cooperation platform between press professionals, as its director explains. For participants, beyond training, the program also presents itself as a space for professional dialogue. An opportunity to build an international network and develop contacts for lasting exchanges.
