ICT as a Tool for Young Voices

Dear donor,

We are glad to inform you that, due to your important role in this project, we carry on supporting the young journalists of the new generation. As the youth, the teenagers have an important and exclusive role in their communities we continue to conduct interactive training courses in Yerevan to support them to obtain the required abilities and skills.

Our beneficiaries, being "Young Experts", are often looking for modern solutions to find their needs and seek solutions. For this reason, they are involved in non-formal integrated training modules where they can understand the connection between modern technology, community, and journalism. Sometimes they find it difficult to combine these things, but they do not get discouraged, so they continue to move forward.

The main goal of the project is to promote the active involvement of the young people of the Republic of Armenia in their community activities.

The following paragraph is Masha's feelings about the project and a message addressed to all of our donors:

Hello, I'm Masha. Again, it is very interesting for me to participate in this program, because I get the necessary skills and abilities. During this program, we have the opportunity to acquire journalistic skills and basic knowledge from the IT sector. This newfound knowledge, however, needs to be invested in the strengthening of communities. I hope that this program will continue and that the talents and abilities of young people will be revealed. Thank you so much for that opportunity. We can do this together. I am sure of it.

Dear donors,

We train young, motivated journalists to cover issues in their communities. By knowing and understanding journalistic and media skills, the young experts of the new generation will be able to identify and solve existing problems.

These beneficiaries often call themselves "new generation young experts" and regularly seek out up-to-date solutions for their community problems. This is why they attend our informal classes, to supplement their existing knowledge.

The mission of this program is to encourage the young generation to be actively involved in the development of communities. This process is not easy and requires a lot of effort. Having mastered modern media skills and journalistic abilities, they will be able to respond freely to every problem.

We present to you our new beneficiary Laura, who is interested in the problems of her community.

Hi, I am Laura. This was my first step in this program and I'm really impressed. I was able to get acquainted with team members and become part of this family. I am convinced that my influence will be great in strengthening the communities. Now, I can say with confidence that I have a great impact on my community development process. It is a priority for me and this program gives us the key to solving the problems. These training courses give us the skills and abilities that can change the community situation. This is not only my commitment to this program but also full of work, love, and enthusiasm. Thank you for this opportunity.
