SHIRLEY Mauludu – Experience with Asia Pacific Journalism Centre: 2015 Fellowship

It was actually a privilege for me to be a participant in the 2015 APJC Fellowship. It is an exciting experience. I must say I was a bit nervous during theĀ first few days as I didn’t know how I would react and respond to the new environment, the people and my fellow participants as well. But I appreciate the fact that the fellows were able to open up and share their experiences and knowledge even given the cultural and communication barriers.

I also appreciate the fact that our guests and facilitators were very patient and I very much appreciate the time they have to share with us their knowledge and experiences. Personally all the sessions were very enlightening. I’m glad I am a participant of this year’s fellowship.

I owe it to my bosses for having that confidence and trust in nominating me and of course, I’m personally grateful for the Australian government for funding such a programme.

I’m sure whatever I learnt during my 5 weeks here in Australia will go a long way with me as an individual, for the company I’m working for and for my country as a whole.

Thank you APJC for the experience!
