Refugees In Uganda Learn Journalism Skills To Share Their Stories

Refugees in Uganda are learning journalism skills through a partnership with World Vision and Hashtag Our Stories.

The refugees at Bidibidi camp were given smartphones and taught to identify story angles and edit.

David (17) reports from Bidibidi Refugee Settlement about how World Vision and other partners have created awarenesses about COVID-19 and how effective it has been.

World Vision Director of Public Engagement Laura Gemmell said the budding journalists covered stories such as the impact of COVID-19 on education, business and worship in the camp.

Josephine (18) reports from Bidibidi settlement about the effects of COVID-19 lockdown on education.

“There is also a brilliant story about some musicians who’ve put down tracks about social distancing and hygeine in a makeshift recording studio,” said Ms Gemmell.

Joseph (13) reports on the effects of the Coronavirus on business and livelihoods in the settlement.

“The songs are played at food distribution points to spread awareness of the virus.”

Youth in Bidibidi have used their free time during lockdown to produce COVID-19 awareness songs in various languages understood by everyone in the community.

The aim of World Vision is to bring hope and opportunity to vulnerable children and communities. With donors, community members, staff and partners, World Vision tackles the causes of poverty and transforms lives through development, relief and advocacy work.

Hashtag Our Stories is a global network of mobile storytellers creating videos about people changing their world.

We need to be informed and the world needs to be kept accountable.

But in an era of digital disruption and falling news audiences, the media must take a different view on what news is, and how stories are constructed.

Negative emotions have served us well during an age of flight or fight. But it’s the positive emotions that drive society forward – and that is the era we are currently stepping into.

Media has the power to move society and send a positive ripple out into the world.
