IMCK's female starters returned to the IMCK training hall on October 17, 2012, for a two day intensive workshop on interview.

Trainer is international trainer Gie Meeuwis, who teaches at the Fontys Journalism College in Tilburg, the Netherlands. Meeuwis has 20 years of experience as a TV-maker. The women will learn how to interview on camera, in such a way that the message of the person that is interviewed gets across best.
