/noticias.info/ YEREVAN, 11 May 2006 - A two-day training course
entitled "Future Professionals for Consolidated Democracy" for
entry-level students will start tomorrow in Tsaghkadzor, Armenia.
The class is aimed at increasing the degree of integration of future
police officers into society. Half of the 40 students come from the
Police Academy, while the other 20 represent Yerevan State University,
the State Pedagogical University and the State Economic University. The
course, which is organized by the OSCE Office in Yerevan in close
co-operation with the Police Academy, will foster debate on various
current issues related to social development, democracy and rule of
law. It will also help students build inter-personal and communications
skills.
"This course is an effort to break the prevailing stereotype of
police officers and to facilitate a dialogue on democratic processes
in Armenia among future professionals," said Blanka Hancilova,
Democratization Officer at the OSCE Office in Yerevan.
Hrachya Avetisyan, a first-year student at the Economic University
said he hoped to exchange ideas with other professionals-to-be during
the training.
"I want to live in a democratic country where mutual respect and
co-operation prevail and where human rights are not violated,"
he said. "I believe that young people can make a change if we work
together."
The OSCE Office plans to continue offering similar training courses
to students.
