Media and Communications

The aim of this project is to offer opportunities for young people to share their experiences, talking about the issues that affect them, while inspiring and motivating other youth in the community. We host a monthly youth radio talk show called “The CEED Young Achievers Talk Show” on Radio Rupiny, as well as leverage the presence of young people on social media (Facebook, Tweeter, Instagram, Whatsapp, etc) to reach out to them on various issues. The emerging issues are then documented and shared widely with relevant stakeholders to inform them of our advocacy efforts on “working with” young people and not “working for” young people.
