JAMIL.Net stands for Active Youth, Inclusive Media and Digital Media Literacy and aims to help young Tunisians better engage in society by giving them the skills and tools to become active participants in their local communities.
JAMIL.Net particularly engages with young women and men in the interior and poorer governorates through a program of Media and Information Literacy (MIL), access to employment in the field of Media and Information, and support to local community media. Our project targets 6 governorates (Tunis; Kasserine; Beja; Gafsa; Kebili; Gabes) and provides the infrastructure needed by building a network of MIL centres in local communities that will facilitate access to employment for the most vulnerable youth. It will also strengthen the local community radios, including their financial sustainability, increasing their capacity to engage with youth via targeted MIL and youth-focused productions that cover important social and human rights issues.
