The Media Challenge Expo is the 3rd stage of The Next Gen Journalist Project whose strategic vision is to build the next generation of journalists, storytellers and leaders equipped to create change in their communities through experiential peer-peer learning, transformational training and mentorship. This year we are putting focus on creating a platform for stakeholders to discuss the complex relationship between refugees and media while equipping journalists with skills and tools to ethically and effectively report about refugee issues.
Participate in riveting panel discussions with journalists, journalism students and media leaders to challenge the media coverage of refugee stories in Uganda and generate solutions to improving refugee reporting.
A disruptive career fair approach where students walk in for interviews, live auditions and networking with our network of media house employers and learn innovative journalism skills in a series of interactive skills building workshops.
We invite media managers and owners to identify talent, and recruit from competing students in the Inter-Institutional Media Challenge
Every year, we offer a chance to students through live auditions and networking with our network of media house employers and learn innovative journalism skills in a series of interactive skills building workshops.
