Proposals Bhutan from February, 2013
Bhutan: Stories from a Young, Maturing Democracy
College-aged youth involved in Media Clubs will be trained to produce audio podcasts during the Summer 2013 Elections. These podcasts will educate Bhutanese about democracy and cover stories from Bhutan's second-ever democratic elections. Our organization will then create an online hub where all these stories will be posted and distributed to local radio stations. Overall, we hope this project will engage rural youth in Bhutan's young democracy.
Bhutan: E-ngage Youth
The Project will create an increased awareness on media literacy amongst the youth by conducting a series of media engagement classes. A local media expert will conduct photojournalism, digital storytelling and video-blogging classes. Through this training we hope that the youth will not only gain an understanding of how media functions, but also get their voices heard and be part of our democratic processes.
