GNA-The Ghana Bloggers Association will this week begin a national programme aimed at enhancing the skills of bloggers and promoting digital literacy across the country.
The President of the Association, Andre Mustapha Nii Okai Inusah, said the initiative would feature a series of training and capacity building workshops designed to empower bloggers with practical skills in areas such as SEO optimization, content monetization, ethics in digital journalism, video blogging, and podcasting.
“We believe the future of media and entrepreneurship lies heavily in the digital space,” Mustapha said in Kumasi during a meeting with bloggers. He said: “By equipping our members and young people nationwide with these critical skills, we are investing in the next generation of digital leaders and responsible online storytellers.”
As part of the programme, the Association would also roll out Digital Literacy Campaigns targeted at schools and communities, a news brief said. The campaigns will focus on teaching safe internet practices, digital storytelling techniques, and the fundamentals of online entrepreneurship to the youth.
According to Andre Mustapha, the overarching goal was not only to raise the professional standards within Ghana’s blogging community, but also to prepare more young Ghanaians to take advantage of the opportunities in the global digital economy.
The national programme is expected to kick off in the Volta and Oti Regions before reaching all other regions of the country.
