In response to the COVID 19
pandemic, Global Girl Media Greece
decided to pause their regular in-
person programming and collaborate
with their global chapters for a video
series titled CORONA #IRL. 16 young
females from 8 different countries
took part in this global collaborative
programming to produce short
journalistic videos that showcase their
life and experiences in their community
during the early days of COVID 19.
With GlobalGirl's goal of digital
media journalism at the center of this
collaboration, all participants took part
in a three week virtual coaching and
training session. To ensure equal access
to digital tools, the participants could
join these sessions using their mobile
devices and the training focused on
how you can use your mobile devices
to capture journalists' stories.
To further support with learning
and developing storytelling and
interviewing skills, the participants
had to take part in INSTA LIVE
interviews with peers and mentors.
At the culmination of this program,
this series was shared online as part
of Global Citizen's virtual platforms,
reaching people across the globe.
