Catholic Communicators in the AMECEA region have been meeting in Nairobi for a workshop aimed at creating forum for accelerating the building of ICT infrastructures and capacities of AMECEA conferences.
Addressing the participants, Bishop Charles Kasonde, Chairman for the AMECEA Social Communications challenged the communicators to embrace the use of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) as a tool to evangelization.
The bishop stressed that the workshop is crucial as it envisages the empowerment of Catholic Communication coordinators and directors in all the AMECEA Episcopal Conferences and lay Catholic media practitioners and journalists in ICTs skills. “It is time to evaluate where we have come from, where we are and how best we can move forward with our primary objective of information dissemination and sharing,” said the bishop who heads Solwezi Diocese in Zambia.
Participants to the workshop were drawn from the host Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia, Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan and South Sudan.
