Testimonials

I didn’t know how to express myself in public and how to give my point of view in everyday aspect but It was a life changing experience for me after the participation as I gained a lot of skills on how I can voice my opinions with self confidence and how I can help others as well to understand different topics through public speaking and exchange.
Genny Chelsea Iradukunda
Public speaking alumni (2018)
Before I joined the team, I was a student near the Congolese refugee camp and I always had curiosity to know more about their stay here in Rwanda. Later after being part of the team, I started to learn a lot about them including their relationships with the Rwandan citizens then realized that diversity is always a great opportunity.

As a refuge, joining the team helped me a lot and brought a big change in my life. Due to the knowledge acquired, I’m now capable of reading and writing news, conducting interviews and became more comfortable with public speaking, and communication, with increased social capital or connection"

It was one of the best learning experiences I had, training provided is completely based on journalism. Provisions provided for practicing listening exercises are very and helpful, the skills I had before the trainings have absolutely increased for now.
Nelly UWASE IRAKOZE
School media club Journalist
Importantly, from being part of the team I was recommended for the GIZ scholarship to pursue a bachelor’s degree in peace-building and development studies. Therefore I will not only be a conflict-sensitive journalist but also spreading the culture of peace in the community.
