About us
We are an international digital media accelerator leading on young-people-centered solutions that bring about social change.
We believe in a world in which young people, in all their diversity, confidently claim their rights, assume their place in society and drive social change.
We accelerate the impact of young-people-centred changemakers by co-creating digital media and learning solutions based on data insights and mutual learning.
Curious:
We thrive when we explore and when we ask questions. Our eagerness to learn leads us to new paths.
Adaptive:
It’s part of our DNA to stay receptive for new insights and adapt our behaviours, habits and approaches to changing circumstances.
Fresh:
Operating at the intersection of digital media and international development shapes our creative nature; we continuously reinvent, rethink and refine to get to fresh and unique approaches.
Synergetic:
We believe that together is the only way forward. The whole always has a greater effect than the sum of its parts.
Inclusive:
We contribute to a world where young people’s perspectives and voices in all their diversity matter. Inclusivity is inherent not only in what we do, but also in the way we work. Both with each other and with others.
We work with changemakers, local organisations or individuals who use or strive to use digital media to unleash the potential of young people in their contexts. They can be young people themselves.
Human rights equally apply online and offline.
We specifically focus on places and contexts where the human rights of young people are under threat. This includes limitations in connectivity and access to digital spaces, exposure to mis/dis/mal-information, and discriminatory practices.
We contribute to making digital spaces more safe, inclusive and reliable. This allows for young people to exercise their rights to universally and equally access the internet, meaningfully connect in digital spaces and express themselves freely, openly communicate their opinions and access pluralistic information.
By 2030, through digital media, one billion young people can make informed decisions, advance their rights and affect society.
RNW Media has an ambitious vision and is always looking for ways to partner with like-minded organisations. We already have a great network of partners and donors. Be sure to contact us if you want to be a part of it.
