US Embassy hosts TechCamp to empower young journos in BD

A three-day TechCamp workshop sponsored by the US Embassy in Dhaka began on Monday.

It aims to provide 50 aspiring journalists with the skills they need to dispel false information, verify the facts, and discover the best practices surrounding artificial intelligence (AI).

The Educational and Cultural Affairs Bureau (ECA) at the US Department of State organised the event in partnership with the Global Youth Leadership Centre (GYLC) Inc.

TechCamp fosters technological innovation and empowers future leaders to address real-world challenges through pragmatic solutions.???

US Embassy Public Diplomacy Counsellor Stephen Ibelli said after joining the inauguration ceremony "Every day, we are exposed to so much information that we can barely keep track of. Oftentimes, we mix rumors with facts and truths. It is really easy to become confused. To deal with this challenge, we need to equip ourselves with critical thinking and the correct tools to identify."

The US Embassy in Dhaka remains committed to supporting Bangladeshi civil society, protecting vulnerable populations, and promoting technological innovation. This commitment extends to programs like Youth Vote Matters, English language learning, STEAM education, internet safety literacy, and addressing misinformation through partnerships with alumni groups and civil society organizations.?
