The project activities include:

Rural Reporter Linkage Initiative:  The project identifies remote upazilla ( sub-district)  that lack press visibility but are experiencing human rights infringements.  RI and its partners develop an upazila-level curriculum for journalist professional development and human rights training.  Local journalists participate in one year long training and are paired with mainstream media editors.  This builds their capacity as reporters and creates a conduit for human rights reporting from underserved, marginalised areas.

Journalism Module for Secondary Schools:  The project develops a secondary school journalism and human rights module, which complements the existing national curriculum.  The module is implemented in RI-affiliated secondary schools, reaching 2700 students.  Students are introduced to the role of journalism, and issues of freedom of speech, right to information, and public accountability of elected officials.

Youth Journalism and Human Rights Camp:  RI develops an intensive week-long camp to introduce students in Class IX to XII to journalism and human rights topics.  The camp runs for six weeks at an RI-telecentre campus, allowing one hundred and forty-four students to develop their journalism and technology skills and explore journalism as a career. 

Media Telecentre Workshops:  RI develops three workshops, one each for secondary school students, media professionals, and human rights advocates.   The workshops are offered at twenty-seven RI telecentres located in marginalised areas of Bangladesh.  In addition to the didactic component, students apply technology skills to online journalism and human rights projects, which continue beyond the workshop.  Media professionals learn how to use technology to further their capacity to bring human rights issues to public attention.  Civil society organisations and individual activists receive additional training in writing effective press releases, editorials and using technology as a social mobilisation tool.

Localisation of Online Communications Tools:  RI catalyses development of online Bengali- localised resources by coordinating the development of a lexicon for web-based applications.  The lexicon is applied to two blog portals, making web-based self-publication available to Bengali users.

Enabling Communication Technologies:  Few Bangladeshis, particularly those from vulnerable communities, have access to computers or internet technology, but phones and faxes are common.  RI implements a voice/fax gateway, allowing Bangladeshi users to post human rights-related content to the web by phone or fax.
