PhotoVoice
Inspired by similar work in other Plan International’s country, Plan International Cambodia introduced our PhotoVoice project in the northeastern Ratanak Kiri province in 2015. Through the initiative, children and youth (both in-and-out-of-school) are incapacitated with photography, evaluation and presentation skill to reflect issues in their community for improvement with both the adults and local authorities.
BellSound
Built on our experience on the engagement of youth and children in media since 2007, Plan International Cambodia has sharpened our youth and child media work to become the so-called Bell Sound initiative. The initiative intends to equip children and youth with necessary skills to act as catalysts of grassroots governance to promote child friendly community.
