Citizen journalism connects the opportunity to develop young people's media and storytelling competencies. At the same time it gives them a chance to look to their surroundings through a new perspective - through a lens of camera, audio recorder or article and to introduce their stories to the others, bringing the attention to marginalized or hidden topics. The REC Magazine is a relatively a new local activity of Youth Association DRONI that gives space to all young people in Georgia to become authors, develop their competencies as citizen journalists, share what they are interested in and gain self-confidence by sharing their stories publicly. REC Magazine is fully participative bilingual (Georgian-English) project and gives the young people an opportunity to contribute to the entire concept of REC, including deciding about the content that will be published. The aim of the EVS is to raise media literacy of young people through their active participation as non-professionals journalists.
