We’re
glad to inform you that due to you we could support the young journalists of
our new generation.
“ICT
as a Tool for Young Voices” project carries on the non-formal, interactive
training courses which are aimed to use the opportunities of the achievements
of modern technologies, civic journalism for the improvement of the
communities. The main purpose of the project is to support the active
involvement of the youth, teenagers in their communities’ involvement process,
help them conduct journalistic research and cover what happens in their
communities. The beneficiaries of the project show great interest in how to
solve the main problems in their communities when they are face to face with
the challenges. They learn how to run
their resources and time correctly and effectively during training courses,
seminaries from time to time. Being familiar with the principals of modern
media and journalism they can conduct an estimation of the situation and do
analysis freely. In each region of the Republic of Armenia, we have chosen one
young expert who is willing to support their team. Such as by creating blogs, social
platforms, and groups, which makes easier and faster to build an open audience.
These experts improve their knowledge and skills through online and non-formal
meetings and share with regional groups’ representatives. 
Dear
donors, your donations have been directed to the meeting with the young
regional representatives of the new generation during which we discussed those
solutions which are realistic to conduct in the nearest future. The participants insisted that the role of
technologies must be increased in modern society. Vigen, who coordinated these
meetings with the target group presented how one can overcome the existing
obstacles and share about it with large audiences. In order to increase the effect of the
participants in the project, they were given supplementary educational
resources and topics, which they can use during their community researches.
During
the meeting, we informed the beneficiaries about the Bonus Day which is going
to be held on the 12th of July. They were excited to hear about that day, which
has an essential importance to bring donors’ attention on this project and
increase the effect of the project in all regions of the Republic of
Armenia. One of our young experts,
Samvel wanted to share his short story and direct his speech to donors.
Hi, I’m Samvel. I live in a community which has
multiple problems for sure. Though they become more visible and solvable day by
day. Due to this project, I am more confident when doing my journalistic
researches. I think each young person can reach their aim if they learn through
failures. As a young journalist I would like to highly appreciate the donors
for such an opportunity and by learning about the Bonus Day I would like to
address to all the donors of our project to do donations and involve more
beneficiaries in this project. Thank you for supporting us.
