VORM - What We Do & Initiatives

What We Do

Voice of Refugee Media gives refugee youth the skills and tools to tell their own stories, run community media, and produce real films.

Building media skills and authentic stories directly from the community.

From practical camera and editing training to live community broadcasting on VORM TV, we work on the ground to train young creators, document real stories, and share verified updates across the settlement and beyond.
