New training course for journalists on working in disaster scenarios, with registrations open until the end of September
Registrations for the second group of the training course for journalists under the "Plan for the Azorean Media," a series of responses from the Regional Government for the sector, open today on the website of CENJOR - Protocol Centre for Professional Training for Journalists, via the following link: https://portal.cenjor.pt/courseaction/subscribe/2365.personal. All interested journalists residing in the Azores – including those working for public sector companies, namely RTP, Antena 1 and the Lusa agency – will have to register on CENJOR's online platform. The current training course, covering disaster reporting, follows a training course held in the first half of the year on economic journalism. The first group is currently undergoing training, while the dates for the second group will be scheduled for the period after the local elections. Journalists Catarina Canelas and Pedro Miguel Costa will conduct this free and certified training programme. Virtual sessions will be held on September 21 and 28, and November 4 and 7, in addition to face-to-face sessions on November 7 and 8. The training will take place in a hybrid format, including online and face-to-face sessions in Ponta Delgada. The content has been defined by CENJOR and the Regional Board of the Azorean Journalists' Union, a partner in this project. Any clarifications that may be necessary can be sent to CENJOR, via email at [email protected], or to the Regional Secretariat for Parliamentary Affairs and Communities. The training programme will ensure vacancies for journalists from all islands, including Flores and Corvo, even if there are only correspondents, and the Azorean diaspora. The Regional Government will provide travel and accommodation for journalists outside São Miguel. The "Plan for Azorean Media" is based on four areas of intervention: the Media Incentives System (SIM); the purchase of institutional advertising packages from media outlets; the subscription of publications, acquired by the Region, for distribution in schools and Private Social Solidarity Institutions (IPSS); and the training of Azorean journalists, in two annual actions, with content defined between CENJOR and the Regional Board of the Azorean Journalists' Union.

José Manuel Bolieiro says participants in Astronaut for a Day initiative are "true ambassadors" of the Azores
The President of the Regional Government, José Manuel Bolieiro, praised today the Astronaut for a Day initiative in Santa Maria, describing the thirty young participants as, from now on, "true ambassadors of the Azores." Organised by the Portuguese Space Agency with financial and logistical support from the Azorean Government, the initiative included a representative from the Azores, from the island of Pico. It consisted of a zero-gravity flight in which 30 Portuguese students enjoyed the unique experience of floating like astronauts. As José Manuel Bolieiro emphasised, the space sector is a political priority for the Government, given that "Portugal is not just the mainland," with the Azores having a "western projection" that is "highly valuable in the space and maritime sectors, representing many opportunities for the country and Europe." "I wish to add an ambitious hope to our historical pride, so that we may understand the contribution that Portugal can make through science and research to our maritime and space sectors," continued the President of the Government. Addressing the young people present at the session, he emphasised: "When returning home, speak as ambitious Portuguese citizens. With your talent, Portugal has much more future than history." Throughout the three-day event, which took place in the Azores for the first time after being held in Beja for the past three years, participants were involved in dynamic group activities and training sessions on space and communication. The Regional Secretary for Parliamentary Affairs and Communities, Paulo Estêvão, who is responsible for coordinating matters related to space projects, attended last year's edition of the initiative, where he raised the organisation's awareness of the possibility of holding the event in the Azores. He also attended today's event in Santa Maria. The fourth edition of the European Symposium of NEREUS Regions, which focuses on space technologies, will soon be held in the Azores. This event demonstrates the region's commitment to advancing in the scientific and economic aspects of space. The 2025 edition of "Astronaut for a Day" received over 600 applications from all regions of the country, registering, for the first time, a majority of female applicants. Ultimately, 15 boys and 15 girls fulfilled their dream of experiencing zero gravity.
