StampMedia is the first media outlet in Flanders that gives all young people in the media industry a voice. By providing them with journalism training, the outlet allows the youngest members of the team to shape debates about topics that engage them.

The editorial staff trains young people to write articles, produce video and audio, and gain photography skills. Furthermore, the website is a repository of journalism training resources. Although some articles are personal essays, StampMedia works to guide youth toward producing more analytical content.

The media platform uses journalism as a means for young Belgians' participation, by including their voices in public debates and integrating their perspectives into the mainstream narrative.

StampMedia welcomes mainstream and niche media to republish journalists' work on their platforms to maximise the impact of the stories.
