NGOs Collaborate to Train Young People from Disadvantaged Backgrounds as Citizen Journalists

In a groundbreaking collaboration spanning two years, three media non-governmental organisations (NGOs) based in France, Italy, and Malta joined forces to empower and train 30 young individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The focus of the initiative was to cultivate a new generation of citizen journalists and content creators through the dynamic medium of podcasting. The culmination of this project was marked by final conferences held in each of the participating countries.

The NGOs, collectively committed to fostering social change and amplifying underrepresented voices, conducted training sessions in Italian, French, English, and Arabic. The comprehensive program equipped participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to craft compelling narratives, using tools used by professional journalists, bringing attention to pressing human rights issues.

Key Achievements of the Project:

Over 30 Podcasts Addressing Human Rights Issues: The 30 participants successfully created a diverse array of podcasts, each dedicated to exploring and addressing human rights concerns. Drawing inspiration from the 30 articles of the UN Declaration of Human Rights, these podcasts serve as a powerful platform for raising awareness and fostering dialogue.

Multilingual Training Courses: The project has produced four versions of a training course, available in English, Arabic, French, and Italian. These courses, designed with inclusivity in mind, are now accessible for free to professionals and migrants alike. This initiative seeks to democratize knowledge in the realms of citizen journalism and content creation.

Podcasts Accessible on MixCloud: The podcasts created during the program are hosted on MixCloud, a popular podcast platform. This means that anyone interested in engaging with these thought-provoking discussions on human rights can access them for free, further extending the reach of the project's impact.

Commenting on the Success of the Project, Antoine Jouillie, form Radio Kalon Stated:

We are immensely proud of the accomplishments achieved through this collaborative effort. The transformation of these 30 young individuals into proficient citizen journalists and content creators is a testament to the power of education and mentorship. By addressing human rights issues through the universal language of podcasting, we hope to inspire change and promote inclusivity.

Where to Access the Podcasts and Training Courses:

The podcasts are available for free on MixCloud at podcastinc's Shows | Mixcloud.

The training courses, catering to both professionals and migrants, can be accessed here.

ANNA Lindh Foundation Network Malta Appeal_ Statement on the End of Hostilities in Israel and Palestine;

We, the Anna Lindh Foundation network in Malta, stand united in our commitment to human rights, to peace and the protection of civilians regarding the ongoing bloody conflict between Israel and Palestine. Our network is founded on the ideals of dialogue, extremism prevention and sustainability. We stand for human lives, and that is why we speak up and plea for the well-being of all people affected by the conflict.

Our pleas:

An Immediate Ceasefire: It is crucial to consider an immediate cessation of hostilities between Israel and Palestine, having in mind the countless lives being lost in Gaza, in the West bank and thinking of the numerous Israelis families who miss their loved ones, still hostages. We urge all parties to prioritize dialogue and diplomacy for a lasting solution.

Protection of Children: In conflict zones, children are the most vulnerable and it's then crucial for both parties to take all necessary measures to safeguard their lives and their well-being. Every possible action must be taken to shield them from harm and trauma.

Safety of Journalists: As news providers, the role of journalists is crucial in documenting the reality on the field, in order to inform the world and hold all parties accountable of war crimes and other breach of any international human rights standards. We call for their protection and physical integrity as they do their job. Fear of reprisals or physical harm should not be in their working agenda.

Protection of Humanitarian Workers: Aid provided to internally displaced people must reach the beneficiaries safely, and staff members of all humanitarian organisations must feel safe to provide support and assistance to those in need.

Security of Civilians: Civilians are innocent individuals that need to be protected at all costs. Collateral damages should be the exception in this conflict that has already cost too many lives. Our advocacy is in favour of the adherence to international standards that safeguard the rights and lives of civilians. Through this declaration, our network seeks to send a strong reminder of inalienable world priorities such as human dignity, peace, collaboration, and a dignified existence for every child. Let us fight for a world that promotes the dignity and well-being of all its inhabitants.
