Impact

​

For participating students, the multiplier event offered a unique opportunity to develop crucial skills such as communication, critical thinking, teamwork, and media literacy. By actively participating in the activities, students gain hands-on experience in various aspects of digital citizenship and ICT learning, including research, scriptwriting, interviewing, audio editing, and presentation. These practical experiences not only enhance their technical skills but also foster their self-confidence and self-expression.

Moreover, the activities encourage students to explore a wide range of topics, from current affairs and cultural events to social issues and personal stories. This exposure to diverse perspectives and ideas promotes open-mindedness, empathy, and a broader understanding of the world. Students also learn to engage with their local communities, conducting interviews, reporting on events, and sharing stories that are relevant and impactful.
