Humanitarian and Charitable Council Introduces Training Program for 250 Media Specialists in Humanitarian Fields
Here's a fresh take on the article:
The International Humanitarian and Philanthropic Council (IHPC) is stepping things up a notch with its new initiative, "Impact Makers," where they plan to train a whopping 250 content creators and journalists in the art of humanitarian storytelling.
This bold move is backed by H.H. Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, pulling no punches in his commitment to elevate the reach and impact of development efforts.
Partnering with the New Media Academy, a leading regional beacon for digital media innovation, IHPC is set to roll out these programs this year, offering participants an unparalleled opportunity to hone their skills.
The training menu packs a punch, with courses ranging from mastering spokesperson skills to nailing humanitarian impact journalism. But the show-stopper is the Humanitarian Impact Content Creators program, featuring two tracks, one of which is a collaboration with the Arab Youth Centre.
IHPC aims to use these content creators like a well-aimed slingshot, propelling humanitarian stories into the spotlight with clarity and authenticity, leaving no stone unturned in the quest for a wider audience.
So, buckle up, young creators - it's time to make your mark and become an "Impact Maker" in the world of humanitarian storytelling!
