On 19-23 July 2021, in cooperation with its partners Une Terre Culturelle Association and German-French Youth Office, Peace Dialogue NGO implemented a five-day youth project under the title Journalism Without Borders. The goal of the project was to introduce young people representing Armenia, Germany and France to modern journalism, a number of social media tools, as well as to address the existing issues and challenges in the field and discuss ways of overcoming them.
During the training, with the support of trainer Mane Papyan, eight young participants discussed the basics of media-writing, the rules and ethics of conducting interviews, as well as the peculiarities of photo/video storytelling. Afterwards, the young people were given the opportunity to apply the acquired knowledge in practice by both individual and group work.
The meeting of the young people from the three countries took place in a hybrid version, which made it possible to conduct intercultural exchange between national teams through an online platform, during which they shared various information about their cities, culture, and cuisine, as well as represented each other the outcomes of their work during the project.
