IMCK's female starters returned to the IMCK training hall on October 17, 2012, for a two day intensive workshop on interview. Ten of the thirteen young women who participated in IMCK's women training in the summer took part. 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.

International trainer Julia Shaw started a 3-day interview training for presenters and reporters of Kurdish TV stations, on August 2, 2012. Thirteen journalists from different stations, amongst them KNN, Azadi TV and Speda are participating. Shaw is an experienced and award winning radio- and TV-maker who worked for the BBC radio and TV and has been training in different courses, mainly in Great-Britain. The workshop will be very practical and focus on how to conduct the different kinds of interviews: for collecting information, for news reports and on background.
