    SEMINAR FOR THE NATIONAL MINORITIES LIVING IN ARMENIA

    Aysor
    July 15 2010
    Armenia

    Institute for War and Peace Reporting (IWPR) is organizing a workshop
    on Citizen Journalism for Representatives of National Minorities in
    23-25 July, 2010.

    The seminar is organized for the representatives of national minorities
    who are under 30 and are living in Armenia.

    During the workshop the representatives of national minorities will
    get acquainted with information dissemination tools in Internet,
    as well as basic principles and ethics that guide journalism. The
    seminar will include theoretical and practical studies. At the end of
    the seminar, the chosen participants are obliged to represent a work
    on their community problems which could be posted on the Internet,
    blogs and social networks.

    As a result of the seminar, the participants will obtain skills which
    will give them the opportunity to give voice to their community and
    its concerns through the Internet.

    On the first day of the workshop, the participants will get acquainted
    with a number of Internet tools and programmes; they will gain skills
    on Internet writing and posting their own stories there without the
    use of many resources and will do practical assignments.

    The second day of the seminar will be dedicated to opening blogs,
    norms of blogging and effective information dissemination through
    social networks.

    As a result of the workshop, the participants will be able to open
    blogs, learn how to use them efficiently and will apply the skills
    gained right in the course of the seminar by preparing their own
    photo and video stories. At the end of the seminar, each of the
    participants will have their own blog which then could be used as a
    means of representing their community or organization, their problems
    and news through the Internet.

    The workshop will be conducted by Gegham Vardanyan of Internews Media
    Support NGO and Arthur Papyan, an expert at Media Diversity Institute.

    The seminar is organized by the Institute for War and Peace Reporting
    supported by funding from the Foreign Ministry of Norway.
