In the course of his work, Erhard Brunn also placed emphasis on opening up the German media for Ugandan journalists. This included internships for Ugandan journalists with German newspapers, opportunities to publish translated and edited articles in Germany, a seminar in Kampala to brief Ugandan journalists on the conditions of the German media market and the participation of Ugandan journalists at a conference of independent African media in April in Hamburg.
