In frame of these programs were intensively trained more than 200 teachers and 500 students. These target group had opportunity to learn journalism, photojournalism and digital reporting. In the result the students and teachers took thousands of photos and prepared hundreds of stories about “Social change” and “Heritage, hunger and food security”. Later in 2014 with the support U.S embassy we implemented two small photojournalism program “Photojournalism for girls in Rasht value” and “Photojournalism for young leaders”.
During all these project students are covered social challenges, their life, culture and different issues and could attract the attention of decision makers to these problems.
In our presentation we would like to tell about the power of media and the role of youth on making change for having better life.
