PROJECTS: Students take a break in a journalism camp (UZBEKISTAN)

Students take a break in a journalism camp

Yaroslav Ovcharenko, Uzbekistan Summer is the favourite season for  students because of their school holidays. Fourteen students from schools in Ferghana,  Uzbekistan, spent their summer break in an unusual camp about journalism. Organised by the children's media center Yangi Avlod (Young Generation) with the support of UNICEF (Uzbekistan), the summer camp was held in Kuvasai, Ferghana. Even the title of the camp was unusual: "Children about Children in the Media." The camp was educational and the young participants learned many things about journalism. They were trained by media professionals from Tashkent, including Sunatulla Kuziev, director of Yangi Avlod; Ulugbek Giyosov, representative of the TV channel Yoshlar, and Nargiz Kosimova, a teacher at Tashkent State University. The students explored ways to conduct interviews, write reports, record videos and edit them.   FULL ARTICLE AT http://www.pearl.iearn.org/pearlnews/content/view/33/36/
