On Tuesday, 7 May 2024, Gondwana Collection Namibia and The Free Press of Namibia (FPN) announced a collaboration by signing a comprehensive cooperation agreement. This strategic partnership aims to foster synergy between the two organisations, particularly in the fields of journalism, environmental awareness, and community development.
The agreement, initiated by both parties, establishes a robust framework for cooperation, covering a wide array of areas, with a special focus on skills development, joint projects, and information exchange.
Manni Goldbeck, Brand and Marketing Director of Gondwana Collection Namibia, emphasised the significance of the partnership. "We are thrilled about the collaboration with FPN," Goldbeck stated. "Our aim is to not only enhance the skills and expertise of journalists but also to provide them with the tools necessary to report effectively on tourism and environmental issues, to also keep the public well-informed about developments in the tourism sector and environmental news."
