Designed to discover and refine young talents in media, the programme offers hands-on training in a professional media environment.

Real-world exposure across media centres

Held at multiple locations including the Sharjah Broadcasting Authority headquarters, Al Wusta TV in Al Dhaid, and Al Sharqiya TV in Kalba, participants gain real-life exposure to various media workplaces and practical skills development directly in the field.

Specialised courses in modern media

The programme includes six specialist training courses in TV presenting, radio presenting, voice acting, digital media, AI in media, content creation for social platforms, and smartphone-based filming and editing. It is led by experienced media professionals and aims to equip participants with up-to-date media skills.

Tailored for 11–18 year old

Targeting youths aged 11 to 18, the curriculum is designed to match their interests and educational needs. Sessions run Sunday to Thursday, from 10am to 1pm, balancing theory with field applications and practical exercises in real studios.
