Last Friday, students from @Makerere University joined us at the MCI Media Hub for a hands-on activation session ahead of the #AfricaNewsroomContest grand finale on October 30th, 2026.
Today, @Makerere University students joined us at the @mcimediahub for an #AfricaNewsroomContest activation session - sharpening the journalism skills they'll bring to the grande finale on 30th October.

The session focused on core broadcast skills: teleprompter training, news anchoring and reporting. The participants got practical, studio-style practice reading from the teleprompter while working on delivery, pacing and on-camera presence.

Fifteen youth leaders. Three tables. Ten minutes each. One podcast.
This week in Arua, #TeamEurope didn't just observe a youth programme — we sat inside one. Engaged with Young leaders from West Nile, hosted by @SensitiseUganda under PACER (DK🇩🇰🇸🇪🇮🇪🇳🇱 co-funded).

Eleven years in, some of the most important progress and the most persistent gaps happen in communities that rarely make the news.
That's the gap our MCI SDGs Media Van (#MCIMediaVan) was built to close in partnership with @KasUganda .

The #SDGs turn 11 today!
At MCI, we believe storytelling is one of the best tools we have to track that progress and hold the world accountable to it. 🌍

The #MCIMediaVan is a 'newsroom on wheels' that travels to communities to report under covered stories, screens those stories back to the people they're about, and facilitates constructive conversations around what they reveal.

It's journalism that doesn't just report on communities. It returns to them, and stays for the conversation.
Eleven years of the #SDGs, how's it going? Ask the communities the #MCIMediaVan has visited.

As the European Union marked 50 years of partnership with Uganda, we convened changemakers for a conversation on what this milestone means for the future.
This dialogue centered on diplomacy, development, and the next chapter of EU-Uganda cooperation.

Ever wondered what actually keeps misinformation from taking over our feeds?
It's not one thing - it's a system:
🔍 Journalists who fact-check before they publish
🧠 Media literacy that helps us all spot the fake from the real

Information integrity isn't automatic.
It's built - one careful share, one verified story, one skeptical pause at a time.

The dialogue explored whether youth participation in local decision-making is translating into real influence; in planning, budgeting, service delivery, and accountability. Youth from Arua shared first-hand what's changed, what's working, and what still needs to shift.
