Initially, we worked to achieve our goals through the publication of a monthly issue, where youth shared their views and ideas about current affairs. While this is still our biggest project, our growth has allowed us to work on a number of different projects, including a workshop on media, human rights, and psychology, which we have presented at numerous conferences and schools. We are currently using the media to promote the Millennium Development Goals and are partnering with a number of international organizations to promote these goals and bring about more youth representation in the media.
