This two-day session, organised by Radio Vwa Peyizan of Papaye (Rvp) taught the youths different journalistic techniques: newsflash, report, write-up and interview. This initiative will facilitate a wider broadcasting of information from town and countryside.
Several of the exercises showed that participants in the session were ready for a career in journalism.
Thanks to this network, peasants will be able to speak out in real time, says Simon Maucles, one of the participants from Cerca-la- source. He says he is ready to go forward with the experience gained at the session.
The network of RVP correspondents will be operational from the 4 March 2013.
The Rvp is a non-profit organisation which is supported by the MPP. It offers broadcasts responding to cultural, informational and educational needs.
