How Tahseen Uses Peacetech.

Tahseen Al-Zrikiny is a journalist from Diwaniyah, Iraq, who participated in the Lab’s first PeaceTech Exchange (PTX). After a 3-day intensive course on how to create multimedia stories using smartphone app StoryMaker, Tahseen went on to apply the skills he gained at PTX Erbil to report on the farmers from his province who struggle with the extinction of their crops. Al-Zrikiny’s story, which was recorded, edited, and published entirely from his mobile phone, won the United Press Unlimited award for the Best Story of 2013 “which would have remained untold without mobile storytelling.”
