Jalebi INK, a media blog for young people, will conduct a four-day ‘Create your own Newspaper’ workshop for six to 18-year-olds from June 21 to 24.

The children will bring out a ‘green’ newspaper after interviewing people such as corporator Adolf D’Souza and environmental activist Sumaira Abdulali.

Children will be divided into smaller, age-appropriate groups to produce the newspaper, which will be printed and sent to their homes by the organisation.

“We want to conduct more such workshops. Eventually this will be a monthly newspaper which children can subscribe to,” said Anuradha Sengupta, founder and managing editor of Jalebi INK, which has previously conducted workshops on trash recycling and use of pedal-power.

Jalebi INK hopes to encourage children to speak on matters important to them.

“Children have a lot to talk about their world, from favouritism and bullying in school to the books they are reading,” added Sengupta.
