Hespress journalists Wail Bourchachene and Fatima Zahra Jabbour won the first prize in the TANDEM Media Awards at the International Press Forum held in Tunisia, following their joint publication on Street theater.
The article entitled Street theater: breaking the cultural isolation and discussions affecting the taboos, is aimed to demonstrate theater and street art as ways to find change, mainly for young people.
Tunisia’s event is part of the “Speak up culture” program, funded by the EU Neighbourhood south.
