From August 1 to 21, the 42 representatives from Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, the Dominican Republic and Bolivia attended the Journalists Seminar of Latin American and Caribbean Countries 2018 in China.

The purpose of the seminar was to strengthen cooperation between the participating countries and China.

Staff comments

Intent coded as representational to capture stated intention and primary focus of the trip on visits to locations unrelated to journalism/journalism development. If more education-focused aspects of the seminar can be identified, it is recommended to code intent as mixed to continue to capture the representational aspects of the project.
