A media & web3 for social impact workshop was hosted at the Game Development Center in Nairobi. In a half-day session, journalists from Kenya Media Council explored the advantages of blockchain technology and how it can positively influence social change. Working with journalists is particularly important, as there is a general tendency to confuse blockchain technology with crypto and to associate crypto with scams. The 30+ participants spoke of influential journalism and blockchain technology topics on how to alleviate challenges all over Africa and provide the basis of technological solutions related to identity, product traceability, and insurance. Moreover, journalists hope to enrich their industries and share blockchain for good stories, both within and beyond their own communities.
