“…Sending journalism students into communities to complete assignments is an opportunity for students to see and experience new ways of living other than their own (Graham, 2009). And while there is great potential for students to experience empathy and compassion for and dialogue with people with different lived experiences (Graham, 2009), unless students are introduced to critical approaches to understanding news-gathering techniques, then an important educational moment is missing from these experiences (Alemán, 2017;Hoops, 2009).…”

“…Language and its relationship to race can also be shaping journalism students' educational experiences. (Hoops, 2009). One way journalism education has been critically examined is through the understanding of the role of language.…”

“…Because of the very nature of the job, journalism instructors place heavy emphasis on language. And language, ultimately, reinforces existing elitist power structures (Hoops, 2009;Pennycook, 2001). With its very specific Associated Press style and inverted pyramid structure, the language in journalism is rigid and standardized (Hoops, 2009).…”

Hoops (2009) found that because of the power structures embedded within language in journalism education, international students and students of color often received failing grades in journalism classes or simply chose to drop journalism courses.…”

This case study uses a diversity and critical thinking exercise in a photojournalism class to show how journalism educators can incorporate race and gender conversations about ethics and judgment into traditionally skills-oriented courses. It is crucial that journalism students learn how to apply their skills properly in an era of social unrest, inequality, and dwindling media trust. Democratic citizenship and journalism are intertwined, but often the bigger ethical conversations are left out of skills-oriented courses. This can lead to a disconnect between the skills themselves and the responsibility of practicing the skills, especially when it comes to matters of power and representation. The field of photojournalism remains predominately White and male, which makes it all the more crucial for students to interrogate their own biases to ensure ethical coverage of their communities. The assignment asks students to make 36 portraits of strangers, and the subsequent classroom exercise has them confront their inherent biases by looking at the demographics of the people they photographed compared to the general population. Data for this case study consist of observations of the classroom conversations and a reflexive journalism exercise the students completed afterward. Findings indicate this exercise is a successful way to introduce racial and gender considerations as part of photojournalistic ethics and judgment. Students initially neglected to think about representation and diversity in their selection of people to photograph but afterward said they could effectively incorporate reflexivity into their work in an effort to provide more representative imagery and confront their own biases.

We have explored the theoretical and test results of a multicultural training organized for teachers of an educational institution at Szent István University. Actuality provides a growing number of foreign students, which means not only an increase in the number of classes taught in English, but proper preparation of the human resources of the institution as well. After analyzing the training we propose to all eviate the problems, forming the diversity advantage, exploit opportunities inherent in multiculturalism. Kulcsszavak multikulturalitás, interkulturális kompetencia, beilleszkedés, befogadás, kulturális sokk, etnocentrizmus, etnorelativizmus, kulturális Johari-ablak, csapatépítés, oktatói tréning JEL besorolás: A23 Bevezetés A továbbképzés egyik divatos módját, a saját tapasztalaton alapuló tréninget, manapság az üzleti szférához szokás kapcsolni, holott hatékonyságát tekintve szinte minden szegmensben megállja a helyét.
