BANGLADESH: Youth Journalism, Human Rights Camp Ends
A three-day Youth Journalism and Human Rights Camp ended at TARC at Savar yesterday with an aim to developing journalistic and technological aptness of rural youth, mostly secondary school students from the country’s marginalised community.
RELIEF International Bangladesh hosted the three-day camp with the support of European Union.
Nayeemul Islam Khan, editor of the daily Amader Shomoy and president of Bangladesh Centre for Development Journalism and Communication (BCDJC), delivered a speech on journalism and its prospect in the context of Bangladesh in the inaugural session while Md Rahmatullah Faruque, programme officer of Relief International, introduced the project of “Media Access and Education for Human Rights, Bangladesh”.
During the camp, the visiting professional journalists from electronic and print media worked with the students to define various aspects of journalism and its relation with human rights.
Students were encouraged to form journalism or newspaper clubs at their own schools after the camp and those who have internet access were encouraged to participate in the online PEARL project for youth reporters worldwide, said a press release.
