Workshop “Youth in the 21st Century: Debating and Producing Media”
This is a regional series of workshops that will be held during the summer and early autumn of 2011 for young people throughout the world. These workshops teach youth to be effective producers of media information by equipping them to produce and package content towards creating a better society.
The purpose of Youth in the 21st Century: Debating and Producing Media is for youth to come together with others from their country and region to learn about issues within their society, debate them, and produce media projects about the relationship between media and society.
Participants will debate issues relating to how the media and youth do and should interact as well as what role this relationship plays in society at large. To provide a background for debates, participants will conduct research and have the chance to interact with local, regional and international experts in the journalism field. Finally, participants will improve their skills in actually producing new media by learning from instructors and making their own media projects.
Youth in the 21st Century: Debating and Producing Media is planning to hold a 12-day long camp this summer and is inviting young people aged 17 to 25 to be participants.
Dates: July 7th – July 20th, 2011
