The New Media Academy in Dubai — the first digital academy of its kind in the Middle East — has launched the Youth YouTuber Program, in collaboration with Nas Academy (Nas Daily Group).
A group of experts will be teaching content creation and distribution during this two-week summer programme, which aims to help educate the young participants on how to become full-time content creators.
Five identical courses, including three in English and two in Arabic, will be conducted online, with the first one starting from 26th July 2020. Those interested in attending the courses can register on newmediaacademy.ae
Each course will accommodate up to 20 students to ensure that all participants receive individual attention from the instructors. The main topics which will be covered during the masterclass include:
- Learning, scripting, storytelling and basic shots
- Master on-camera presence and advanced script writing
- Beating the “Algorithm” and reaching your core audience
The curriculum has been designed by a group of digital marketing and social media experts to help the younger generation successfully launch their online careers and contribute original video content from the Arab world. Attendees will be receiving guidance on filming and editing videos, and sharing these across various social media channels.
