High Sound for Children has launched the second cohort of learners set to benefit from its media clubs this financial year. A team of forty children will undergo training and mentorship on responsible media usage throughout 2025.
The sessions, integrated into the school timetable, will equip young people with essential media literacy skills. They will receive guidance from The Smart Media Guide, a publication by High Sound for Children. The club’s curriculum includes topics such as safe media usage, different forms of media, writing, public speech, social media, and debunking fake news among others. Additionally, members will have the opportunity to engage with key media professionals.
Speaking at the launch, High Sound for Children Team Lead, Hadijah Mwanje, expressed gratitude to Jesjonny for its continued support to the program, which has empowered over 100 children with media literacy skills since 2019.
“We are grateful for the support over the years and encourage you to keep the club active even in our absence because you now have The Smart Media Guide to lead the way,” Mwanje noted.
High Sound for Children’s Media and Communications Officer, Ivan Ssenabulya, introduced the media club concept to the new members, urging them to make the most of this opportunity.

Teacher Patron, Mr. Kisa, thanked High Sound for Children for continuing to provide this valuable learning experience.
“We at Jesjonny are excited to see the clubs remain active. Our children have gained access to media platforms both within and beyond Uganda. They can now confidently share their perspectives on various topics while applying the media literacy skills they have acquired in their daily lives,” he said.
