MEDIA TRAINING

CMN is committed to empowering young people to use media as a force for good. We believe that by providing media training, we can equip young people with the skills and tools they need to tell their stories, express themselves, and effect change in their communities.

Our media training program is designed for young people who are passionate about media and want to learn how to create high-quality, original content. Through a combination of workshops, mentorship, and hands-on experience, we teach young people how to write, produce, and edit their own media projects, from documentaries and short films to podcasts and social media content.

Our trainers are experienced media professionals who are passionate about sharing their knowledge and skills with the next generation of media creators. They provide personalized guidance and support to each participant, helping them develop their creative vision, hone their technical skills, and achieve their goals.
