AMMAN — The Jordan Media Institute (JMI)’s Media and Information Literacy project, implemented in partnership with UNESCO and with the support of the EU, “greatly contributed” to building students’ capacities for analysing the values of news and information and telling news from rumours, supervisors of school media clubs said.

During the training programme on photography and video production, the students developed their skills in photography, montage and using social media sites safely, a JMI statement said.

HRH Princess Rym Ali, founder of the JMI, met with the supervisors and students, where she listened to students’ experiences and the project’s role in protecting the younger generation from misleading news and discourses of extremism and hate in social media, the statement added.
