To extend the impact of ambassador training, we established Media Literacy (MIL) Clubs in local schools and orphanages. These clubs provide safe, ongoing spaces for youth to practice and share their skills.
Club members organize weekly meetings where they analyze trending news, discuss viral videos, and explore misinformation campaigns. They apply the techniques learned during ambassador training in real-life scenarios, strengthening their critical thinking and fact-checking abilities.
In addition to learning, the clubs encourage peer-to-peer teaching. Older or more experienced members mentor younger participants, fostering leadership, teamwork, and a sense of responsibility within the group.
These youth-led clubs also run community awareness initiatives, sharing verified information through posters, presentations, and social media campaigns. This creates a ripple effect, extending media literacy skills beyond the club and into the wider community.
Ultimately, the MIL Clubs empower youth to become local champions of truth, resilience, and critical thinking, ensuring that the lessons learned during the workshops continue to inspire and educate long after the events.
