Details

UNFPA Malawi calls applications for Digital Media Arts Accelerator Training 2021. UNFPA Malawi invites you to a unique chance of acquiring digital media, art, and workplace skills and certificates from our pilot Digital Media Arts Accelerator Training Project.  Media art is a highly demanded skill in the era of a fast evolving digital economy and as part of the youth empowerment programme, UNFPA is recruiting the first batch of digital media arts trainees from Lilongwe. Trainings will be provided in Lilongwe for a maximum of 10 participants once a week from August 10 -December 21, 2021.

These trainings are offered free of charge for in-person (Lilongwe) live weekly courses as well as interactive online trainings. Classes will meet live 3 hours each, once a week and students will also be expected to work on projects and practice their new skills outside of live class time and through our online classroom.
