Read all about it! Latest Young Reporters magazine is out.

Welcome to our second issue of Rising Sun Magazine. What makes these magazines unique is that our writers are all aged between twelve and fourteen.

Once again, a group of London children joined our Young Reporters scheme, which is part of the educational outreach activities that occur during the Asia House Bagri Foundation Festival of Asian Literature.  The group took part in media training and then used these skills to cover the Family events.

It was a delight to see this year’s class of Young Reporters double in size from last year and running a larger newsroom at times proved to be quite a challenge for us!

For me, it was again inspiring to see their development. As they put their training into practice, I saw the group handle interviewing our performers with great enthusiasm and confidence— which even for experienced adults can be a daunting task.

They encountered writers, storytellers, a rapper and a Ninja Meerkat.  The group were exposed to professionals who are extremely passionate about communicating with others, through writing, music, stories and even origami. I hope this passion is infectious and that this year’s journalists will apply the range of skills they learned to their everyday lives and future careers.
