Academy launches YouTuber course

dubai — A Youth YouTuber Programme has been launched by the New Media Academy in partnership with Nas Academy, part of the Nas Daily Group.

The summer programme will be taught by handpicked instructors, to provide students with a greater understanding of the world of content creation, from filming and editing videos, to distributing them across social networks.

The two-week programme will educate the youth on what it takes to be a full-time content creator. The programme features five identical cohorts (two in Arabic and three in English) and is open to youth. Each cohort will feature 20 students only so that each student receives enough personal attention from instructors. All cohorts will be virtual, and the first cohort will start on July 26.

“With this initiative, we are telling the youth that we believe in them and that we trust their abilities to become responsible content creators. We believe in their dreams of becoming full-time content creators and we will help them make this a reality,” said Rashid Al Awadhi, CEO of New Media Academy. This programme is aligned with UAE Vision 2021 to develop the skills, energy, enthusiasm and commitment of the country’s youth, and empowering them to contribute to the continued welfare of the country.

The academy is an Emirati initiative focused on shaping Arab youth in the region and training them on the latest digital media trends. —
