Ten projects have been selected by the Danish aid organization Danida to receive their Verdensbilledlegat (World Picture Grant).
Final-year student Simon Fals is among the receivers of the grant. Together with his journalistic colleague, Eigil Johannisson, they’ve received the grant to do a story about the Lake Victoria in Uganda – the working title is “Life, death and swimming lessons”.
The grant has a value of D. kr. 50,000 to cover travel and production expenses.
Simon and Eigil will be doing their story this spring and summer before Simon start his final 8th semester at DMJX.
Simon Fals is currently on leave from school and is in Argentina.
