Somalia
The Tiziano Project | Somalia trains aspiring journalists with the skills they need to contribute to and excel within domestic and international news outlets. The long-term goal of this project is to educate local journalists on how to run a news bureau with a specialization in multimedia and advanced radio production. The project documents the deaths, war, and daily lives of the people who live everyday in the carnage.
Rwanda
For two years, The Tiziano Project educated talented and dedicated locals to be able to produce content for Western news agencies. Using established Western professionals on the ground and online, students were given an intense education with the expectation of contributing to established news outlets and becoming journalists. Trained mentees were also expected to be able to teach classes to further the objective of self-sustaining media.
Individual mentorships in radio production, writing, photography, video and online media was facilitated through collaborations with The German Development Service (DED), Maison des Jeunes (a youth center in Kigali), and The New Times.
During this program, the Tiziano Project worked with students to produce a 30-minute radio program broadcasted by Voice of America.
DR Congo
Using established Western professionals on the ground and online, The Tiziano Project gave aspiring Congolese journalists an intense education with the expectation of soon contributing to established news outlets and becoming journalists. Students applied the applied the concept of citizen journalism in eastern Congo to the swelling camps of people forced to flee their homes because of ongoing war. Trained mentees visited the camps to document daily life and death. They were also expected to teach classes to further the objective of self-sustaining media.
Kenya
Community members in Nairobi were mentored by The Tiziano Project to be able to produce content for Western news agencies through in-person and online trainings. Students were held to a rigorous curriculum in order to later contribute to established news outlets and become professional journalists. Mentees were also expected to be able to teach classes to further the objective of self-sustaining media.
The program was conducted in partnership with the Mathare Roots Youth Group to create a new generation of Kenyan journalists skilled in online multimedia production.
The Tiziano Project provides community members in conflict, post-conflict, and underreported regions with the equipment, training, and affiliations necessary to report their stories and improve their lives.
