About the Project
The team of reporters and trainers at Chambal Academy were oriented and trained on the basics of story-telling and ways of building narratives on issues of human rights. Chambal Academy is a digital media social enterprise founded in 2015 by a diverse team of rural and urban media practitioners, with over 20 years of experience producing local language content especially with and for rural audiences. Keeping this in mind, I designed a session that focused on technical aspects of building narratives and the difference between reporting on an issue and builing a story.
