Committed to its efforts to develop and promote skills of young media professionals in the Arab region, Al Jazeera Media Institute (AJMI), in co-operation with Sila Academy, organised a “Future presenter course” in Algeria.
The programme targeted 19 children under the supervision of Dr Rania El Jammal, who expressed her great admiration for the enthusiasm of participants, noting that they showed a strong interest to learn to the extent that they did not want to leave the hall even after the time was up.
“Despite differences in dialects, I succeeded in maintaining communication using simple Arabic language”, said Dr El Jammal.
She added that the course was really a cultural and educational exchange programme, and concluded: “Media is not exclusive to adults, but rather a set of skills that can start from early age if there is a stimulating environment.”
The course focused on boosting self-confidence, training participants on proper pronunciation, presenting flyers and interviews, as well as understanding basics of news editing.
