A group of young aspiring journalists gathered for an outdoor training session focused on practical storytelling and lede writing skills, highlighting a shift toward more flexible and accessible learning environments.

Held under a temporary tent, the workshop created an informal yet engaging space where participants interacted closely with the facilitator. The trainer emphasized real world application, encouraging students to think critically about how they structure stories and capture readers’ attention from the first sentence.

Unlike traditional classroom settings, the open-air environment allowed for a more relaxed exchange of ideas, with learners asking questions and sharing perspectives. A visual presentation supported the session, reinforcing key concepts in modern journalism, including writing for digital audiences.

Participants described the experience as both interactive and inspiring, noting that "the hands on approach helps us to understand better the demands of contemporary media practice"Sarah said.

Organizers say such initiatives are increasingly important in equipping youth with adaptable skills, especially as journalism continues to evolve in the digital age.
