From the 23rd till the 25th of July 2015, Sano Sansar Initiative ( www.sanosansar.org ) organised a three-day-long conference to foster sustainable development through micro-journalism . The conference remained very much fruitful to the youths who have been working in communities as activists and wants to raise the voice of voiceless. Youth from different academic background starting from SLC to Master level took part in the conference that was held in The British college at Thapathali Trade Tower. 62 young participants from 32 different districts joined the program. The speakers in the conference were from different organizations Including ICIMOD, UNESCO and different National Media firms. Narayan Wagle (from setopati.com ) and Radhakrishna Dhital (Kantipur news reader ) were two renowned media personality. The conference aimed in providing a good platform for the youth to focusing out the news available to them through micro journalism.
