HE LAST BEND FOR #AFFCameroon COHORT 9
For their last session, the #AFFCameroon cohort 9 fellows have gathered in Limbe, yesterday evening was an opportunity to get further tips on ways to easily and nicely write great #FactChecking articles as drawn from other counter parts from across Africa as the #AFFC coordinator @Donald Tchiengue shared experiences of his trips to the Mauritius Island and South Africa with the fellows.
For these 3 days, we shall be finding out from them through their exposés how ready they are to go out there and officially begin the journey as skilled checkers of information in Cameroon.
#AFFCameroon growing in number and Impact. This #defyhatenow project that has been gathering journalists, bloggers, content creators, community leaders and digital rights activists in Cameroon for over 3 years now is growing not only in number but impact.
Glad to see Alumni fellows of the 5th Cohort today mentors and facilitators for the 9th cohort, to pass on to the younger fellows what they gained through trainings and experiences they have so far gathered through hands on exercises in their different media houses and organisations.
Donald Tchiengue now #AFFCameroon lead and digital coordinator at Defyhatenow_WCA, Jacques Chancelin doctoral student at ESSTIC and CamerSic Lead; and Boris-Karloff Batata manager at CBS radio Buea. This project has opened up collaborations and opportunities not only at the national but international level as well.

We are glad to see the determination with which you have proven to work during this training period and the results produced. Now as you go back to your respective work bases, we believe that with the skills acquired and tools provided, you will be able to change narratives and shape positive perceptions for #PeaceBuilding.
We look forward to the great things you will be doing in your contributions towards building a #HateFreeCameroon
#defyhatenow in Cameroon seeks to support those voices acting against the conflict to go ‘viral’ within and outside the country – bringing the diaspora into the online peace building framework, bridging gaps of knowledge and awareness of social media mechanisms between those with access to technology and those without.
