BootCamp Followup: Breaking the cycle of Online and Offline fraud
Date: 8th-9th September 2023
The Youth Empowerment Foundation conducted a three-day media training focused on combating both online and offline fraud.
In light of the growing threats posed by misinformation and disinformation, members of refugee communities are increasingly vulnerable to fraud. To address this, the Youth Empowerment Foundation, with support from the r0g_agency and under the #ASKnet program, organized an intensive training session.
A total of 15 youth participated in the program—10 from Pagirinya Refugee Settlement and 5 from Nyumanzi, a neighboring settlement. The training aimed to equip participants with practical skills to identify, prevent, and raise awareness about fraudulent activities both online and offline.

Overcoming Stage Fright: Many participants began with apprehension, but they quickly learned how to overcome stage fright and speak with confidence.
Storytelling: Refugee youth were taught the art of storytelling, enabling them to convey their experiences in a compelling and engaging manner.
Speech Structure: The training emphasized the importance of a well-structured speech, complete with a powerful introduction, body, and conclusion.
Effective Communication: Participants learned to use body language, tone, and gestures to enhance their communication skills.
The transformation was incredible. As the training progressed, these young refugees blossomed into articulate and confident speakers, ready to share their unique stories with the world.
