KUWAIT: The Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Sunday launched its first summer media training program for children under the title ‘KUNA Little Club’. The program is being held at the agency’s headquarters and will last two weeks with the participation of 15 children. The program aims to increase children’s media awareness by developing their skills in the field of media and journalism so that they can distinguish between real and misleading news, verify official news sources, as well as hone their language skills and the ability to write news and press reports.

The first day started with several activities, including the introduction of children to KUNA, the purpose of its foundation, its goals, the basics of integrated journalism, and skills.
