Summer Media School

Program
Description

The Ayb Educational Foundation, with a grant from Eurasia Partnership Foundation, realized a Summer Media School program.

The aim was to equip high school students with knowledge and skills for producing media of different genres and formats.

What Problem We Solve

The program taught students to:

have a critical approach to mass media materials;
differentiate between lower and higher quality media outlets and programs;
look for biases in any given publication;
analyze the material in comparison with other publications of the given media;
browse other materials on the subject and thus have an objective and accurate overview.

How We Do It

The courses were both theoretical and practical. The Summer Media School program helped students gain experience in media and communication production, find out the advantages and disadvantages of each media type, and as a result create independent media.

What Results We Have

62 students from different marzes of Armenia participated in the Summer Media School free of charge.

As part of the program, 26 videos were shot and edited.
14 video lessons were shot in different schools of Armenia.
4 participants decided to become film directors.
