A simulated refugee camp in an isolated forest in Coleraine is helping to train journalists for reporting on conflict zones around the world. Students at Ulster University took part in the immersive training pilot in 2018 and 2019 as specialist researchers worked to develop new ways to prepare reporters for the dangers of the profession. Hoped to be eventually rolled out in war-torn countries such as Syria and Afghanistan, the innovative curriculum teaches techniques to manage the range of threats a journalist may face. It encompasses everything from shelter-building and first aid to managing post-traumatic stress disorder. Two cohorts each spent a short period in the forest learning skills like bushcraft and water purification, while another held an audience with a former battlefield nurse who had experience in conflict zones.
