We start by helping students uncover their passion and potential in journalism, storytelling, and digital media. This phase involves orientation, goal-setting, and exposure to the world of modern content creation.

“What kind of storyteller are you? Let’s find out.”

02.

Define​

Next, we define their learning path and professional goals. Whether it’s investigative journalism, video storytelling, or social media content, we map out the skills they need to succeed.

“Clear goals. Clear direction.”

03.

Design​

In this phase, students gain hands-on training through interactive lessons, expert tutorials, and real-world assignments—learning mobile journalism, script writing, video editing, and more.

“Turning knowledge into skill.”

04.

Develop​​

Students apply what they’ve learned to design original projects—like news segments, YouTube shows, podcasts, or social campaigns—building a strong portfolio.

“Craft your voice. Build your brand.”

05.
