During four months of stay in Berlin, Germany, fellows learned advanced digital security tools and also held a two-day conference in which they trained the students of a German university.
Apart from learning digital security, the fellows also visited media houses in Germany such as Deutsche Welle, Die Welt, and Funke Media group.
Aamir also delivered a talk on China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) at Mercator Institute of China Studies in Berlin. During his speech, he discussed the progress of CPEC in the last four years and the impediments faced by this project.

He was also first ever practicing journalist from Balochistan to attend Chevening South Asian Journalism Fellowship in 2018 at the University of Westminster London.
