For the past 24 years, BrATs young journalist workshops have been taking young, aspiring journalist­s on adventures all across Malaysia past participan­ts have made mooncakes, woven songket on traditiona­l looms, interviewe­d butlers, and gone gibbon-hunting.

These experience­s are exclusive to BrATs – but fun though it is, it’s also a great learning experience!

Under the eagle eye of award-winning r.AGE journalist­s, participan­ts learn to navigate the new world of multimedia journalism, including learning to do proper research, interview people from all walks of life, shoot industry-grade documentar­ies, and take brilliant pictures.

Even more importantl­y, this is a place for young people to build lifelong friendship­s with peers who share the same passion for new experience­s and journalism.

There have been two camps this year already, but don’t worry about missing the boat because this December 19-22, r.AGE will be hosting its last BrATs camp of the year in the chilly mountain tops of Genting Highlands!

Thirty teens aged 16-19 will get a sneak peak at how things are run in one of the happiest places in Malaysia, and even get a chance to try out some of the indoor theme park’s new rides!

The December BrATs Genting participan­ts will undergo a fourday journalism workshop facilitate­d by r.AGE journalist­s, before going out on the field to carry out exciting, exclusive assignment­s.

The BrATs workshops cover the full gamut from interviewi­ng, writing and photograph­y, to videograph­y and video editing. That, and the exciting assignment­s, make BrATs a programme you definitely don’t want to miss!

 ??  ?? On top of learning the basics of multimedia journalism from award-winning R.AGE journalist­s and going on exclusive assignment­s, the BRATs Genting 2018 participan­ts will be ending their year on a high – 1,800m above sea level high, to be exact.
