The U.S. Embassy in Dhaka inaugurated a three-day TechCamp workshop (February 6) that aimed to
empower 50 aspiring journalists to combat misinformation, fact check, and learn best practices on
Artificial Intelligence (AI).
After joining the inauguration program, U.S. Embassy Public Diplomacy Counselor Stephen Ibelli said,
“Every day, we are exposed to so much information that we can barely keep track of. Oftentimes, we
mix rumors with facts and truths. It is really easy to become confused. To deal with this challenge, we
need to equip ourselves with critical thinking and the correct tools to identify.”
Organized by the Educational and Cultural Affairs Bureau (ECA) at the U.S. Department of State, in
partnership with the Global Youth Leadership Center (GYLC) Inc., TechCamp fosters technological
innovation and empowers future leaders to address real-world challenges through pragmatic
solutions.
The U.S. Embassy in Dhaka remains committed to supporting Bangladeshi civil society, protecting
vulnerable populations, and promoting technological innovation. This commitment extends to
programs like Youth Vote Matters, English language learning, STEAM education, internet safety
literacy, and addressing misinformation through partnerships with alumni groups and civil society
organizations.
