Journey Through Journalism

This project aims to train Asian and European students (12 – 18 years of age) to develop their journalistic writing skills while striving to be well-informed of the news issues and events and other information in their and other countries that are significant to people for one reason or another. These would involve writing of editorials for discussion of issues, news and feature for events and information. The project co-ordinators will work together to come up with a user-friendly, educational, informative, collaborative Internet space available to all of the partners (i.e., the Moodle Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)). This is a secure password protected space that will allow student-participants to upload their work, to store and share and to facilitate communication within the project. Features include journalistic writing tutorial boards, discussion boards, display boards, and calendars designed to facilitate collaborative work.
