The Event:

Young Journalists is a Youth Conference themed Nation Building through Young Journalists, to enable active participation of young people in micro journalism for a sustainable development.

Why?

The concept of micro-journalism is widely popular in developed countries with many success stories. With our expertise on climate change mitigation, sustainable development and thorough research on micro-journalism, we believe that, training on this concept would be an invaluable asset for both young individuals and our Nation.

Through this conference and training event, we are going to integrate our expertise on education, environment conservation, education for sustainable development, and community health with micro journalism, allowing young individuals to be the role models of the community.

Learning for Sustainability!

Participants will learn the art of creative writing, conflict negotiation, and reporting local actions with journalism ethics in mind allowing them to qualify in becoming the Young Journalists and work to rebuild sustainable Nepal.
