Al-Hajji explained: "During the workshop, I met with a distinguished group of young people who briefed me on their efforts, interest and their expertise in producing educational knowledge digital content on digital platforms such as YouTube and Instagram, and we also discussed some successful local and Arab models.
While Raghda Jamal, a journalist at Al Jazeera Media Institute who trained " Story Writing " workshop for young age groups said: "I am happy with the interest of the Al Jazeera Ambassadors initiative in young age groups as it is an important category that is always neglected by media organizations and training institutions. Therefore, we, employees of Al Jazeera Ambassadors Initiative, are proud of our focus and interest in training future journalists and writers. In story writing workshop, we quickly went through the basic components of the story, so that the child can create a full-fledged story from beginning to end.
It is worth noting that the camp offers its training workshops on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays of each week until the 15th of August, on the southern side of the Cultural Village "Katara" from 01:00 pm to 03:00 pm..
