On May 24 and 27, Internews Kosova held two training sessions with students of the Zenel Hajdini high school in the municipality of Gjilan and “Hivzi Sylejmani” in the municipality of Fushe Kosova.

The training was held as part of the “KALLXO.com – The Anti-corruption platform /Crowdsourcing Citizen Engagement to Report and Fight Corruption ” project funded by UNDP, and was aimed at students of Kosovo’s state-run high schools that are interested in undergoing training in media production, media literacy, ethics,  tackling fake news, and producing videos.

A total of 48 students from the social sciences department of both municipalities participated, 37 of whom were women.

At the end of the training sessions, youngsters pitched their journalistic ideas, which the Internews Kosva team will collect and thoroughly analyse before selecting the articles and other materials that will be published on the online platform KallxoRinia (Kallxo Youth). The production of all of these articles will be overseen by a team of editors.

In the upcoming months, Internews Kosova will hold other training sessions at the Social Studies department of high schools from across Kosovo.
