Hey Everyone! On 1 August 2009, I was selected to go for a Young Reporters Training Camp (YRTC) which was situated @ NacLi. It was oraginised by Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts (MICA).

The Young Reporters Training Camp is an almost two weeks camp for young reporters from over 21 countries all over the globe from Australia to Ukraine. I even got the chance to share a room with 3 other students from Mauritius, Slovakia and St. Lucia. We attended various media workshops and excursions. The workshops were conducted by the Singapore Media Academy, Nanyang Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic and Singapore Press Holdings. We gathered so much knowledge from media broadcasting to news reporting. We visited places like the Singapore Zoological Gardens to Sentosa. We also had the great opportunity to experience the National Day Parada @ Marina Bay on August 9! I also got the chance to show the Head Girl from our twinned school in Mauritius, Tessa, our lovely school and students.
By the end of the camp, I gathered so much knowledge not only on media broadcasting but also got to learn about countries I have never heard before. I take back with me from this camp, useful insights and life-long friendships.
- Inshirah :D
