YOUNG ACTIVISTS FROM ARMENIAN REGIONS TRAINED ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND ADVOCACY WITH OSCE SUPPORT
18:52 07.10.2013
Training for citizen journalists on human rights, social inclusion and
advocacy tools was organized from 5 to 6 October 2013 in Tsaghkadzor
in central Armenia by the Eurasia Partnership Foundation with the
support of the OSCE Office in Yerevan.
Some 20 young activists from five regions of Armenia enhanced their
knowledge on the use of new media and advocacy tools to address
problems faced by vulnerable groups in their local communities. Media
and human rights experts discussed with them how to explore and
highlight social problems and concerns of different groups through
social media, photography and other ways of reaching out to broader
audience to draw public attention and generate positive change.
Maintaining blogs and groups in social networks to debate societal
problems, promote tolerance, advocate and generate action were also
discussed.
The training was held on the basis on citizen journalism centres
established by Eurasia Partnership Foundation in 2011 in collaboration
with local non-governmental organizations in five regions of Armenia.
The project aims at empowering young people to promote human rights,
social cohesion, equal opportunities and participation of all
members of communities, especially of socially vulnerable families,
persons with disabilities, representatives of national and religious
minorities.
