Background

The Peace Journalism programme at UPAC is unique in Central Africa. UPAC offers this course to promote peace and responsible journalism – a task that is becoming increasingly important in the current context of multiple crises.

 

 




 

In the media and social networks, a regrowth of hate speech can be observed, which undermines the idea of peaceful coexistence. In order to counteract these stereotypical, discriminatory and biased media articles, which have negative effects, it is important to strengthen the “Peace Journalism” course at UPAC.

The Université Protestante D’Afrique Centrale (UPAC) in Yaoundé evolved from the Faculté de Théologie Protestant de Yaoundé, founded in 1959, and was recognised as a state university in 2007. UPAC is supported by 14 Protestant churches of West and Central Africa.

The university has four faculties: Protestant Theology and Religious Studies, Medicine, Information Technology and Communication, as well as Social Sciences and International Relations.

 

 

 




 

 

The Peace Journalism programme is part of the Faculty of Social Sciences and International Relations. The Peace Journalism programme at UPAC is unique in Central Africa.
