NJC intensiverer indsats i Finland/NJC increases contacts to Finland
Frugtbart møde med finske universiteter - Facebook grupper oprettet til nordisk netværk - Fruitfull meeting with Finnish universities - Facebook groups created to Nordic Network.
Af hensyn til finsksprogede journalister findes denne nyhed også på engelsk - det er dog fortsat NJC\'s erklærede politik at forsøge at gennemføre seminarer og kurser primært på "blandinavisk" i et forsøg på at fastholde den kulturelle og sproglige identitet i samarbejdet mellem de nordiske lande.
(This story is also in English to accommodate Finnish speaking journalists in Finland - it is, though, still the policy in the NJC to keep our communication at seminars and courses in "blendinavian" in order to preserve the cultural and linguistic identity in the collaboration between the Nordic countries.)
NJC ønsker et større netværk blandt finske journalister - og at være med til at skabe et bedre samarbejde mellem finsk-sprogede journalistlærere og deres kolleger i de andre nordiske lande.Dette er formålet med en ny indsats for NJC, som ønsker et knytte stærkere bånd til den finsk-talende majoritet af journalister i Finland.
Et etablerende kontaktmøde er netop holdt på Helsingfors Universitet med repræsentanter for journalistuddannelserne på universiteterne i Helsingfors, Lahti, Jyväskyla og Tampere samt Svenska Social- og Kommunalhögskolan i Helsingfors.
Her blev intensionerne klare: Alle ønsker et tættere samarbejde på trods af sprogvanskelighederne. Første indsats bliver, at også de finsksprogede undervisningsinstitutioner er repræsenteret ved Nordisk Netværksmøde - NJCs årlige møde for de nordiske efteruddannelses-organisationer i journalistik. NJC har foreslået, at dette årlige seminar i 2011 holdes i Helsingfors. (Seminarerne går normalt på skift imellem de store nordiske efteruddannelses-institutioner og holdes i år 16.-18. juni hos Institutt for Journalistikk i Frederikstad i Norge.)
NJC gjorde dog klart, at hovedsproget stadig vil være nordisk på seminarer og fællesmøderne. Samarbejdspartnere vil i fremtiden diskutere mulighederne for at tolke fra møder og kurser - men kun i begrænset omfang gennemføre hele seminarer på engelsk af kulturpolitiske årsager.
Facebook til journalistlærere
Som et konkret initiativ til at forbedre kontakterne imellem nordiske og også de finskprogede journalistlærere har NJC allerede oprettet et Facebook mødested for journalistlærere i hele Norden. Det er muligt, at undervisere fra de nordiske journalist-uddannelser har andre netværk - NJCs netværk er åbent for dem også, naturligvis, men det er først og fremmest tænk for undervisere, som kan undervise uddannede journalister.
Facebook-grupperne har navnene:"NJC Nordic meeting point for Nordic journalism educators"
"NJC meeting point for Russian speaking Nordic journalism educators"

English version
For the sake of Finnish-speaking journalists this news also in English - it is still NJCs stated policy to try to implement seminars and courses mainly on "blendinavian" in an attempt to maintain the cultural and linguistic identity of cooperation between the Nordic countries.
It is, though, still the policy in the NJC to keep our communication in seminars and courses in "blendinavian" in order to preserve the cultural and linguistic identity in the collaboration between the Nordic countries.
NJC want a larger network of Finnish journalists - and better cooperation between Finnish-speaking journalism teachers and their colleagues in the other Nordic countries.
This is the purpose of a new effort to NJC. We want to build stronger ties with the Finnish-speaking majority of journalists in Finland.
An established contact meeting is just held on the University of Helsinki with representatives of journalism courses and educations at the universities of Helsinki, Jyvaskyla and Tampere and the Swedish Social and Kommunalhögskolan.
Intensions were clear: Everyone wants a closer connection despite language difficulties. First, efforts will be made, så the Finnish language institutions are also represented at the Nordic Network Meeting - NJC\s annual meeting of the Nordic organizations in further education in journalism. NJC has suggested that this annual seminar in 2011 is held in Helsinki. (The seminars are usually held alternately between the Nordic countries and this year it is held June 16 to 18 at the Institute for Journalism in Frederikstad in Norway.)
Partners will discuss future opportunities for interpreters from meetings and courses - but only to a limited extent. As a general rule, no entire seminars will be held in English for cultural reasons.
Facebook for journalism teachers
As a concrete initiative to improve contacts between Nordic and also Finnish speaking teachers NJC has already created a Facebook venue for journalism teachers throughout the Nordic region. It is possible that teachers from the Nordic journalism schools have other networks - NJC\'s network is open to them also, of course, but it is first and foremost pinpointed to of teachers who can teach skilled journalists.
NJC Facebook groups have these names:
\"NJC Nordic meeting point for Nordic journalism educators\"
\"NJC meeting point for Russian speaking Nordic journalism educators\"
