Testimonials & Reviews

“Before the training, I was like many people. I’d see content on social media and scroll past it without thinking about who posted it or whether it was true. Now I notice details I never paid attention to, and I use what I learned in everyday situations, from a fake image going around, to a suspicious link landing on a phone, to content shared without its original source. The training didn’t end when the sessions did. It became part of how I think. I learned that not every image is real, not every link is safe, and not every story we see is the whole story. Most of all, I now feel responsible for the people around me, especially my family. Being aware isn’t only about knowing how to verify things myself. It’s about helping others stop and think before they believe or share. That’s the real value of the training: when knowledge becomes a daily habit, and change starts with us, in our homes and in our communities”

“My journey with UNESCO started through three trainings in media and information literacy. I was not looking for a certificate. I was looking for a way to protect myself and my community from misleading news and hate speech. With each stage, I understood that knowledge is a responsibility that begins when we decide to share it with others. The most important step was the field training, when I moved from what I had learned to putting it into practice, and from my own experience to passing that awareness on to other young people in my community. Today, with the opening of the Media Studio, where young people from the South can film and create content for free, I feel our voices have a new space. A camera is not just a tool. It is a way to build awareness, open dialogue and bring out talents that deserve to be seen and heard.”
