Scholarships available for young journalists to participate in a “Stand-up Comedy and Satire Storytelling” workshop by Amman Comedy Club

Are you a young journalist with a passion for using humor to shed light on social issues? Amman Comedy Club’s “Satire Storytelling Writing” workshop, in partnership with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, offers you the opportunity to learn how to use satire storytelling to reach out to younger audiences.

Satire storytelling has a long history of being used to draw attention to social issues and effect change. Through satire, writers can use humor to engage readers and expose the absurdities of societal norms, political systems, and cultural practices. Satire storytelling can also be an effective tool for promoting critical thinking and social commentary.

Participating in the “Satire Storytelling Writing” workshop in May 2023 will help you develop your skills in writing and performing satire storytelling. You will learn how to craft stories that entertain and educate your audience, all while honing your comedic skills. This is an excellent opportunity for you to connect with other aspiring comedians and professionals in the field.
