Everyday Sri Lanka | Mobile Journalism Workshop

Tiziano | Sri Lanka

Working with the US Embassy in Colombo, Sri Lanka, The Tiziano Project trained 24 aspiring Sri Lankan journalists on how to use smart phones to report quality, journalistic content. In this program, we focused on the tools and apps that are prominent in everyday lives - Android phones, Instagram, Tumblr, Facebook, and Twitter.

The students learned how to tell stories through services like Instagram and then promote their messages to the world. We built off of the concept of one of our partners, Everyday Africa, to create an Instagram feed called Everyday Sri Lanka that after a month already boasted more than 700 followers.
