It is impossible to imagine a modern teenager who does not know about YouTube, social networks and bloggers. Surveys by SurveyMonkey and Common Sense Media companies found that 75% of teenagers learn all the news from social media and YouTube. This number includes 40% of those who trust the content of bloggers and look up to their activities. Blogging has long ceased to be just a hobby and has become a full-fledged job. And the development of social networks and platforms – such as TikTok – allows you to easily and quickly create your own channel and generate content.

The speakers of the blogging course were Kateryna Levchuk, SMM manager of Isobar, Vitaliy Hordiienko, author and host of the Moviegoers Squad YouTube channel and Nina Korobko, creator of The Village and author of the Nina Korobko channel. They talked about their experience in blogging, how and where to start an own blog, how to choose a topic and platform and shared life hacks on shooting and editing videos.

At the end of the course, participants had to prepare a video on the choice of profession, using the acquired knowledge and own ingenuity. In total, the participants published 11 videos, where they told about their plans for the future, shared their impressions from the courses and the project, described their choice of profession and showed their skills and creativity.
 
The organizers of the course evaluated all the works and chose three videos, with the highest scores:
1. Tamara Illiashenko https://youtu.be/L37JjJdOxO4
2. Tetiana Tkachenko https://youtu.be/DdIxJSkjygw
3. Mariia Zuychenko https://youtu.be/P7BkbYuXyCY

The authors of these videos received Young Blogger's Kit: lavalier, tripod and lighting.
