IHL Youth Action Campaign: Journalism in Wartime

Attend this fascinating presentation on the roles journalists play in warzones. Led by Sarasota's Youth Action Campaign (YAC), an educational advocacy movement for adolescents, this presentation will feature a discussion on the protections of journalists amid armed conflict, followed by a robotics demonstration.

What is the IHL YAC?

Facilitated by the American Red Cross, the International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Youth Action Campaign empowers youth and young adults, ages 13-24, to learn about international humanitarian law - the body of law that governs armed conflict.

Young people volunteer to educate the American public on IHL by exploring topics with their communities through peer-to-peer education campaigns. Youth teams participate in an IHL training, during which they learn how to build their own educational campaigns and conduct in-person and social media activities to promote awareness around IHL.
