Grassroots Media Initiative
Dear Friends,
02 January 2007
Greetings for New Year from GRASSROOTS!
Children are a reflection of present, and are the face of the future. Over 41% of the country's population is children, yet their voices remain unheard. Children face multiple forms of exploitation, abuse and suppression that cause violation of their rights to survival, development, protection and participation. Factors that make children vulnerable to exploitation and abuse are multiple and complex.
Communication in the modern times is the key of all advocacy campaigns and initiatives addressing social change. Mainstream media is the primary forum through which the problems, issues and voices of the children can be meaningfully highlighted in a way that the policy environment of the country changes favorably.
With the objective of mainstreaming the children's problems, issues and voices in the media, the Plan International and Grassroots Media Initiative have been organizing a 1-Day Workshop "Youth Journalists and Children's Issues" on 6th January 2007 for media persons to look into the prevailing issues revolving around the children and how to mainstream them into media.
We are pleased to invite you to participate 4 hours programme. We'll be highly grateful. Please confirm your participation through telephone, e-mail or SMS.
Sincerely,
H. Arjjumend
Director
Date: 06 January 2007
