“Our newspaper, The Peace Gong promotes diversity and helps in facilitating dialogues amongst young people from different cultures and communities. We extensively use the social media, email communications and mobiles to connect with other student reporters from different background across the country and abroad. Using new forms of available communication, The Peace Gong can be a powerful vehicle to help young people to come together and work for global peace.”- Iflah Javed Qureshi, student
of Class XII and former Editor, The Peace Gong, the global children’s newspaper. (www.thepeacegong.org)
Iflah’s perspectives on how with enhancement of communicative skills, students like her can reach out to other young people across the country and abroad and initiate dialogue on issues of common concerns underscores the importance of promoting media literacy education.
