Jordan Media Institute (JMI) students assisted the BBC World News’ production team of the program Global Questions. This unique opportunity for the students was made possible during the recording of Arab and English versions of the program at the UNHCR’s Refugee Registration Center in Amman on 18 and 19 March 2016. The program included high profile panels of leaders and opinion formers who discussed Syria's refugee crisis and its impact on Jordan.<br />
<br />
Several JMI students were involved in all aspects of the production.<br />

The program’s Director, Chris Nelson said with the JMI students showed efficiency, enthusiasm and passion to make the best out of the experience by working as members of the BBC’s production team, and learning from the experiences of the episodes’ moderators and producers during both days of the production. Nelson commended the students’ comprehensive knowledge of technical and vision mixing skills.<br />
