Since 2008, Bayimba Cultural Foundation has organised a number of workshops and trainings to spur the development of the arts and cultural sector in Uganda. Whereas most workshops were organised for artists to enhance their creativity and artistic skills, Bayimba Cultural Foundation also recognises the need to contribute to a strong and professional body of arts journalists in Uganda. It therefore resolved to organise training for Ugandan arts journalists with the aim of equipping established arts journalists with further skills.
The arts journalism training will be held during the week prior to the Bayimba International Festival of the Arts that is scheduled for 13th-18th September, 2011.
