As the pace of globalization and digitalization accelerates, it’s important to ensure that young people are provided with access to the information required to help them make better decisions on the necessary steps towards a successful personal and professional future!
The American Corner Antigua, located at the National Public Library of Antigua and Barbuda; along with several key partners have embarked on a pilot project, which is open to ALL students aged 12 – 18 years old who are enrolled in public or private schools across Antigua and Barbuda that would like to participate in the establishment of a youth-led national periodical / newspaper called – The Student Journal – to learn more about journalism, entrepreneurship and civics.
Since classrooms provide the basic foundation of knowledge for young people; establishing journalism clubs in schools can foster more peer to peer engagement on topics such as democracy, volunteerism, life skills and even beneficial opportunities available not only locally, but also in the United States of America (USA).
The main goal of this pilot is to provide a safe space for young people to respectfully express themselves, learn strategic LIFE skills and better understand the roles, rights and responsibilities of being a good citizen, employer or employee in their community.
In Journalism Club, students will take on the different roles of a publication team gaining real world experience that not only looks good on a resume, but can build confidence for any future professional career path.
They will work collaboratively with other students to decide what they want to feature in their youth-led newspaper, particularly reporting on current affairs and key events in their respective schools.
Spread the word and sign up today, if you know someone or you are a student (12 – 18 years old) that would love to join Journalism Club!!!
PLEASE NOTE – There will be an evaluation of all applications with a short list of successful students being announced and provided with training on the production of The Student Journal for their respective school.
