emirates7 - H.H. Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Court for Development and Fallen Heroes' Affairs and Chairman of the International Humanitarian and Philanthropic Council, emphasized the critical role of enriching humanitarian content as a shared responsibility between media organizations and digital content creators within both institutional and societal contexts.
He highlighted that this responsibility is especially important given the unwavering support from the UAE leadership in providing young Arab talents with advanced storytelling tools and skills focused on humanitarian and development work.
Sheikh Theyab explained that showcasing humanitarian efforts and development projects is essential for fostering community solidarity, as these initiatives positively impact millions of lives globally. He also pointed out that the UAE is actively implementing major humanitarian initiatives and projects that reflect its prominent global leadership in this field.
His comments coincided with the launch of the “Impact Makers” initiative by the International Humanitarian and Philanthropic Council in collaboration with the New Media Academy.
This initiative offers various educational programs and training workshops aimed at digital media content creation centered on humanitarian and development topics. Sheikh Theyab stressed the importance of empowering individuals to impactful and constructive content that addresses humanitarian issues, raises public awareness through storytelling, and utilizes effective media strategies.
These efforts are particularly relevant to initiatives that provide essential services such as healthcare and education to communities, ultimately promoting prosperity, stability, and security.
The program targets journalists, camera operators, and content creators from the UAE, the Arab region, and beyond, who specialize in humanitarian and development fields. Its objective is to help them improve their storytelling skills, develop media content, and produce audio-visual materials across multiple digital platforms in innovative and engaging ways.
Additionally, the initiative will provide training for official spokespersons of UAE-based humanitarian donor organizations and charitable associations on corporate reputation management and handling media crises.
The New Media Academy continues to support content creators and social media influencers by equipping them to deliver their messages professionally, contributing to societal advancement.
The “Impact Makers” initiative features several training modules, starting with courses on "Spokesperson Skills, Media Appearance, and Crisis Management," followed by programs on "Humanitarian Impact Journalism" and "Humanitarian Impact Content Creation." The latter includes two versions, one conducted in partnership with the Arab Youth Centre.
