Youth Media Forum

The Youth Media Forum project works to establish a permanent platform for dialogue and media development that brings together young people interested in media from various regions of Hadhramout and Yemen. The Forum is a youth-led development initiative that focuses on raising media awareness, enhancing journalistic skills, and building the capacities of young people to become active contributors to responsible and impactful media content within their communities, in line with the principles of integrity, transparency, and human rights.
