Manana Center started a two-year project of Creating a Network of Young Reporters in Armenia with support of The United Nations Democracy Fund.
During the project media workshops for youngsters on journalism, photojournalism and filmmaking will be organized in different regions of Armenia. Participants, under the supervision of expert tutors, will produce alternative content through multiple platforms, including a series of articles, films, interviews, multimedia outputs documenting real-life stories experienced by local communities, through photo exhibitions, film screenings and magazines, and also through internet.
The project aims to empower young people through the enhancement of media skills which will raise the level of participation in civic life and the formulation of a democratic society.
