Eight students of the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University’s French subject group and the Department of Journalism, Media and Philosophy took part in a two-week intensive training course in multimedia journalism hosted by renowned French journalism trainer, Patrick Lenormand. The course culminated in the creation of a blog in French and English about the impact of the 2010 World Cup.

The blog, which can be accessed at www.2010worldcupimpact.info, features articles in French and English, audio recordings, video clips, photographs and slideshows about the event produced by the students participating in the project. The focus is on the story behind the scenes rather than the results of the event.
