Dear donors, our partners,
We are glad to inform that due to
you we continue to support the new generation of young journalists to speak out
their community issues.
The “ICT as a Tool for Young Voices” project
continues the non-formal, interactive training course for the young journalists
aiming to support the target group via modern, innovative technologies, also by
using all their efforts in favor of the community.
The main purpose of the project is
to promote the involvement of the youth of the Republic of Armenia in the
process of their communities' development and also take up steps using
journalistic, creative skills and abilities which would help them to cover
those challenges they come across.
Our beneficiaries witness various
issues in the rural marzes of the Republic of Armenia. They try to use those
resources which would help to get out of that difficult situation. Though
having not enough skills and abilities they cannot look for solutions. As a
result, our beneficiaries need to show up in teams, build teamwork, and
increase their knowledge and the level of awareness.
Dear donors, your donations got
addressed to the implementation of the non-formal training's following stage.
This time our beneficiaries have had
an opportunity to get acquainted with those social and media platforms, with
the help of which their can build an enormous audience, which in its turn will
give an opportunity to increase the level of awareness about what is going on
in the community.
In this section, each participant
told about their perceptions related to the influence and opportunities of such
platforms. In most of the participants' opinion, the modern tools always have a
tendency of rapid progress and development.
And the use of this potential makes the
14-18-years-old active and initiative young experts explore the strengths and
weaknesses of their communities and also estimate the current situation there.
In order to make the meeting more
interactive they were separated to groups and through teamwork, they started to
image their ideas and perceptions about how ICT (Information and Communication
Technology) and its tools can support to find solutions to the key issues on the
posters. The participants decided creative and interesting names for their
teams and each of them showed up with their individual stories.
Dear donor, we appreciate that you
are next to us and you support us during the implementation of these very
important steps. All your donations are directed to support the development of
the communities of the Republic of Armenia.
The following is Yana's small story and the
