Today one of my students let me know that she 1.) won a poetry contest and 2.) wanted to donate her cash prize to Youth Journalism International. I'm incredibly touched. ??
Story by Youth Journalism International's Nicole Luna: Maringá, BRAZIL – I worked for a robot for eight months. You probably think this is a fictional story, but it’s not!? https://lnkd.in/ePxgt647
Singer Rachel Chinouriri took to the stage Saturday at London’s O2 Kentish Town to conclude her debut album tour in a blaze of infectious energy and heartfelt emotion. https://lnkd.in/eEWaMhHB
This week, we added two new members to YJI's Board of Directors: Linus Unah, a treasured alum from Nigeria, and Sreehitha Gandluri, a student from Maryland who is studying at the University of North Carolina. Unah is a journalist, producer and documentary filmmaker who earned a master's degree last year from Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism. He is our first board member from Africa. Gandluri was chosen as one of two student representatives who serve on the board, joining Regina Lopez from Mexico City. She's a fencer, a former U.S. Senate page and a terrific young journalist. We are glad to have both of them give their time to making YJI bigger and better than ever! You can read about all of our Board members here: https://lnkd.in/eedgrrFk
One of the things we really love at Youth Journalism International is bringing students together. Today, our executive director, Jackie Majerus (left), is at Harvard University with two students: Lyat Melese (middle), who's in her second year in Cambridge, and Holly Hostettler-Davies (right), who recently graduated from Cardiff University / Prifysgol Caerdydd in Wales. The two students had actually met before -- in the summer of 2023 in Prague, where they were part of a global conference with students from a dozen lands. Later today, other YJI students and alumni will join them in Boston. Most of our students only know each other online, but as we grow, we've found more and more opportunities to make those connections stronger with visits in the non-virtual world. It's become a rich mix that furthers our mission and builds ever more vibrant connections that tie our world together. This is such a joy for us.
The first stories published by what became?@YJInow went to print on April 23, 1994 -- more than three decades ago. We've since published thousands of pieces by students from half the earth's nations & at least one from every continent (even Antarctica!). https://t.co/kPhp6LlUo2
Youth Journalism International students went online to tell the world about the July conference they attended in Mexico City. It's a great way to get a solid glimpse of how this little nonprofit does such important work. https://lnkd.in/e8NHJNuQ

Youth Journalism International had a fantastic global conference in Mexico City over the summer. Now it's time to share what that experience meant. Join me Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time for a free public Zoom panel discussion and hear from the students who attended. They came from Ghana, Pakistan, the UK, Colombia, Ukraine, Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and the U.S. They learned a lot about journalism and Mexico, but even more, about each other. Please join us Sunday and find out what makes Youth Journalism International and its students so special. https://lnkd.in/ecyh2SmF

From Youth Journalism International student Na?ka Jean in Haiti: "In every Haitian household, there’s at least one pet, whether a dog or a cat. In our culture, these animals are often seen as companions and protectors." https://lnkd.in/eZUVpidN
