To secure freedom, prosperity, and good governance, a democratic society requires a high level of ethical and informed reporting. Azadi.me in association with Centre for Civil Society and Edelgive Foundation offers ìpolicy for Journalists, a three day residential course for journalists to equip them with tools to better understand and evaluate the effects of public policies in our day to day functioning. This award winning course focuses on issues in the key areas of education, livelihoods and good governance.

CCS is India's leading liberal think tank, ranked 81 worldwide by the annual study conducted by the Think Tanks and Civil Society Program at the University of Pennsylvania. Azadi.me is India's first and only liberal webportal in Hindi.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

• To equip participants with analytical tools to better understand and evaluate the effects of public policies so as to better distinguish between objective facts and merely subjective opinions and intentions of policies from their actual results.
• To offer unconventional angles and story ideas, information sources, and expert perspectives.

ELIGIBILITY

Freelance journalists who have a dedicated column in reputed publication or web portal can also apply for this workshop. Up to 26 participants are chosen through a competitive evaluation process.

REGISTRATION FEE
The fee for the ìpolicy is Rs. 2,000 only which includes all meals, accommodation, and transportation to the venue and back. This fee is payable upon selection and payment can be made through online only. Fee paid once will not be returned.

Baithak: Conversations in Policy is CCS Academy’s new initiative for fostering continued learning and development of CCS graduates through open group discussions in an informal group setting and in the presence of a trained CCS facilitator/faculty.

The idea is to give a platform to all the CCS graduates (from ipolicy, credit courses, RR internship and so on) to come together for a discussion on contemporary socio-cultural and economic issues in the presence and guidance of a CCS faculty/facilitator.

Program objective: Alumni engage with each other by creating a knowledge ecosystem, impacting the policy space in India at large.

About: Centre for Civil Society is organizing the first ever ‘Baithak: Conversations in Policy’ on the 25th of August at A-69, Haus Khas, New Delhi. If you have been associated with CCS in the past and have attended any of its programs – LSS, ISPP, ipolicy, Freedom Caravan, Colloquium, Researching Reality Internship, etc., this is the platform for you to come together in a more informal setting for a discussion on contemporary socio-cultural and economic issues in the presence and guidance of a CCS facilitator.

	"ìpolicy has enabled me to critically examine the present perspectives I inhabit regarding policy design and policy implication. It has inspired me to gain a holistic understanding of markets and their ways of working in the policy domain." Shilanjini Bhattacharya, TISS Mumbai
	"I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity, it has provided insight, fresh ideas and a liberal perspective. I learnt a lot both from interaction with facilitators and peers. I was encouraged to think more critically, ask more questions and discouraged from accepting things on face value. I think my approach to policy formulation has changed a great deal in terms of how I now perceive institutions, trade, incentives, public interest and govt intervention." Evita Rodriguez, FLAME Pune
	"Textbooks provide a very one-dimensional and theoretical approach to issues. Ipolicy definitely showed the current trends interms of the practice approach and introduced me to new perspectives and ways of looking at issues. The most important thing is that in each session, we did not just stop with identifying the problem but also came together to formulate possible solutions to the same."
