Hear my voice reports on Plan’s media programs in the developing world, which are providing children with a platform to express themselves. These programs assist young people in developing a relevant range of non-technical vocational skills such as communication skills, team work, creativity, confidence and powers of self expression.

The media projects aim to contribute to changing mentalities and behaviour, and the image of children in their community. Children’s voices are, and will be, heard not only ‘on air’ but also in the decision-making process. Information and participation will in the long run empower children, prevent exploitation and help them become active members of society. All of Plan’s media projects intend to meet these challenges.

This report looks at children speaking out through video, radio, print and new technology.
