Umbrella for Journalists Kasese (UJK), Uganda

 

Thank you Umbrella for Journalists Kasese (UJK) and Musoki Rusia for the fruitful discussions, sharing ideas and experience on questions of conservation, conservation education and humanrights awareness in Kasese. I am happy to start together with you the journey to transformation

During the meeting initiated my Musoki Rusia Assiciate Programs Director - Umbrella for Journalists in Kasese, it was realised that human culture and nature are intertwined. It was also found out that conservation education and cultural heritage are areas that have been neglected thus a need to use the power of story telling and bridge this communication gap.

A number of interventions such as sensitization through community barazas, short documentaries, dialogues on human rights and natural conservation could have a multipier impact.
In strengthening knowledge sharing like the saying goes ‘old is gold’ campfire meetings was thought of to ensure that ecological knowledge by elders is passed to the young generation.
All said, UJK as a grassroot media organisation with limited resources to steer the initiatives identified thus calling for support from well wishers and like minded donors globally.
Kasese District is a place everyone admiring to visit because of its natural resources and hospitable people.
