Africa Children\u2019s News Network<\/h1>\n\n
\"\"\n
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

The most exciting and entertaining news broadcast you\u2019ve ever tuned-in for, together, our 4 charismatic newscasters take the week\u2019s events and break them down so that even a child can understand it \u2013 and they should know \u2013 since they\u2019re still children themselves.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Children see what is happening in the world around them, but they don\u2019t always understand it or know how to react to it.\u00a0 This show not only allows Ugandan children to see themselves represented on screen, it gives them opportunity to truly understand and engage with the events happening in the world around them.<\/p>\n\n

The added bonus of asking children to deliver and discuss the current news, is that children are often the best at simplifying things, and are frequently surprising adults with their humour and honesty.<\/p>\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Taking the format of a typical news broadcast, our 4 kiddie newscasters take on the responsibility of sharing the news they heard about each week through discussion, understanding, and explaining it to the other newscasters.<\/p>\n\n

An additional segment each episode includes a new child each week, having a discussion with a parent.\u00a0 We film the parent asking their child what they understand about a specific news event and explaining the parts the child doesn\u2019t understand and what it means for them personally.<\/p>\n\n

Mobile Media Library<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

A mobile tech-hub stocked with computers, tablets, and print media, as well as a printer, cameras, mics, and other equipment necessary for acquiring, interpreting, and creating news\/media. The Mobile Media Library will give ACNN the ability to reach an even wider range of participants. Its mobility will make the resources even more accessible as we can bring them to the children & youth instead of always waiting for them to come to us. It will give communities important access to valuable media and skills-development.<\/p>\n\n

In the Camps<\/h2>\n\n

The ACTFF vision for ACNN is to bring the programming into refugee camps, where children and youth are extremely vulnerable.\u00a0 Featuring children and news stories from within the camps themselves, ACNN will be created and delivered through the eyes, ears, and mouths of kids.<\/p>\n\n

Our refugee camp programming includes Media Literacy training (What is Media Literacy<\/a>), and training in news production skills including story editing, audio production, video production, and post-production.\u00a0 These skills will be taught through assisting the children\/youth in the production of episodes of ACNN.<\/p>\n\n

We\u2019re currently gathering partners, funding, and volunteers to make this dream happen.\u00a0 Consider joining us: Volunteer<\/a>, Contact Us<\/a>, or Donate today!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
