Working with media outlets and journalists, civil society organisations and journalism academics and students, this project will support youth and other marginalised groups in Algerian society to make their voices heard in the mainstream media.

- Workshops for civil society organisations representing marginalised groups to improve their media advocacy skills and support to develop and implement media advocacy campaigns.
