Social Media School · SMS

Tell the story. Where they already are.

រឿងរ៉ាវ

Storytelling and digital ministry, for the generation already living there.

A new school

Craft and calling, on the same screen.

Cambodia is one of the youngest countries in the world, and its young people live online. The Social Media School trains Christians to tell true stories well — with a camera, a phone, an edit and a plan — and to carry the gospel into the feeds where this generation already spends its day.

It is a secondary school of the University of the Nations, taught in Khmer and English, with real projects for real ministries. You leave with skills, a portfolio, and a clearer sense of what you have to say.

What you learn

01

Storytelling

How to find the story, shape it, and tell it honestly — in a post, a reel, a short film.

02

Camera & sound

Phones, cameras, lenses, light and audio: enough craft to make the story look and sound the way it deserves.

03

Editing

Cutting video, colour, captions and graphics with the tools your audience already scrolls past.

04

Platforms & strategy

What works where, when to post, how to read the numbers, and how to stay sane doing it.

05

Digital ministry

Carrying the gospel into the place a generation actually lives, with integrity and without gimmicks.

06

A real project

Students produce work for YWAM Siem Reap and partner ministries during the school — the portfolio is the coursework.
