Direct Participants of the Project:

Eighteen local youth from the Chittagong Hill Tracts will directly benefit from this project. They will participate in the media workshops and be actively involved in the production of the documentaries, video vlogs, and video podcasts. Additionally, the residents of the villages where the video content will be created will be direct partners in this activity. They will be involved through video screenings and awareness meetings organized in their villages. They are essentially the primary direct stakeholders of this activity.

Indirect Participants of the Project:

All local communities in the Chittagong Hill Tracts will indirectly benefit from this initiative. This is because the project will highlight the effects of climate change, the role of locals in addressing it, and their intrinsic relationship with nature. All this content—the documentaries, video vlogs, and podcasts—will contribute to raising awareness about the environment and culture of the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
