Feedback
To complete a course, trainees provide feedback on their training which helps us produce effective training material. Here are some examples of what iLearn trainees said about their courses:
“It was an enriching, challenging and refreshing in many aspects. I enjoyed it!”
“I found reporting on children and trauma the most useful part of the course because it has helped me understand how to clearly represent children, and the importance of having stories of children in the media.”
“Everything was relevant.”
“It was very interesting. Course selection was excellent. I covered almost all the basic aspects of modern journalism. Now I'm proud to be journalist. Now I feel with the knowledge I have acquired, we shall try as much as possible to make my newspaper a paper that everybody would like to be associated with.”
“I found that it is possible to get two different sides to come together and talk about something that happened in the past without much noise or hate using all the guidelines given.”
Ugandan journalists (and transitional justice trainees)
‘I have become more aware of my audience’
‘Before, even if I noted or reported figures, I just reported the amount. But now, I am concerned about how the money is spent,'
“The course is amazing; giving participants a rare opportunity. A modules are equally important and useful.”

“The way the course is structured is great that it pushes you to remember what you have just been exposed to and answer questions as soon as possible. I found it to be good for fast learning. And above all its interesting and interactive and straight to the point.”
"Beautiful. Honestly, this course came at the right time for me and my Organization. Creating links with the Media has been one of our greatest challenges as we lacked the knowledge on how to approach, deal and using them. So through this course I have come not only to understand how to write press releases but how best to work with our local media.”
