Events are organized at both universities to showcase students’ media projects through a two-day panel discussion. Panelists from various educational and media backgrounds provide valuable insights and feedback on the students’ work. The initiative has been a success as students feel a deep sense of pride in seeing their projects displayed on the big screen, with the panelists offering constructive feedback that encourages them further. The discussion also highlights the ways mainstream reporting distorts the media’s image and emphasizes the importance of promoting narratives that pave the way for a more optimistic and inclusive society.
