⛺️ MediaCamp: Bringing Together Youth Media Activists!
This year, we hosted two large-scale media camps at Lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan and in Guliston, Tajikistan, gathering 83 participants! Together, we produced 31 media projects from participants in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan, including articles, interviews, training sessions, seminars, debates, and more! Additionally, we released a handy guide for those interested in creating educational online games like we do 😉

⚡️ Grants and Promoting Media Literacy!
At the InternetCA forum in Almaty in May 2024, we announced funding opportunities for projects combating disinformation in Central Asia. Today, three amazing organizations are turning these ideas into reality through radio series, educational podcasts, videocasts, and medical fact-checking initiatives.
