What is Ronak?
We are a platform for seasoned reporters, photographers, researchers, and human rights advocates. Since 2016, we’ve been running media training workshops at Ground Zero. Our trainees are journalists but also students, writers, bloggers, or anyone who wants to switch from activism to journalism. We’ve conducted media training workshops in Western Sahara refugee camps, Libya, Iraqi Kurdistan and Armenia. Today, many former trainees have become active journalists who have published hundreds of stories in different media outlets worldwide.
We also raise awareness of conflict and human rights abuses through multimedia exhibitions, talks and by telling stories in different formats. Our work is about bringing cruel realities which often look distant a bit closer, provoking empathy through two key questions: What would I do if I were in their shoes? What can I do from my place?
