The Communication Initiative
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Lola Kenya Screen, the annual audio-visual media festival, production workshop, and market for children and youth in eastern Africa, calls upon children and youth who are knowledgeable, opinionated, and interested in film, journalism, creativity, and cultural events to apply for participation in a series of skill-development mentorship programmes during the 5th Lola Kenya Screen to be held in August 2011 in Nairobi, Kenya.

Selected candidates serve on the Film Selection Committee and Film Jury. They participate in the festival press, programme planning and presentation (as Master of Ceremonies - MCs), and the film production workshop.

Ideal applicants must be aged 6-16 years old (9-18 years for production workshop), must be both knowledgeable and interested in audio-visual media works, and must have the ability to understand, speak, and write in English. In addition, they must be capable of thinking, typing, and submitting between 500 and 1,200-word articles on the activities at the festival daily (for the film press). The candidates must be ready to work under strict deadlines and should be supported by their parents/guardians.

Application Info

Interested children and youth must - themselves - write an application letter, including the following:

  • Intention
  • Expectations
  • School
  • Age
  • Email address
  • Telephone, preferably cell/mobile, contact
  • Physical address
  • Letter of permission from parent/guardian


 

International experts teach successful applicants how a film is made and guide them through the skills of appreciating and judging films, reporting on events, and planning and presenting creative and cultural events. Stories filed by members of the Festival press are published daily during the six days of festivities on the Lola Kenya Screen website, the Commatterskenya.com website, and the pan-African creative and cultural portal, artmatters.info.
