Community Journalism

We nurture young journalists and opinion leaders
At CRDC, we believe that an informed voice can change the community. Through the VOCE program, we offer young people the opportunity to learn how to create quality journalistic content, investigate local issues, and become agents of change through the power of words. Participants will have access to specialized trainings, practical workshops, and one-on-one mentoring, and their articles will be published both on the CRDC website and on the national community journalism platform www.jurnalist.md.
