In the frame of “Online Olympiad” project we have
organized meetings and 2 workshops on “The usage of social media in civil
journalism” theme in 11 regions of
The
goals of the meetings and workshops were to develop and enhance the online club
of youth journalists, to raise the knowledge level of our beneficiaries in the
spheres of media and Information Communication Technologies.
We have activated the youth participation in the developing process of
their community; assisted youth to raise their journalistical, research and
creative abilities with the usage of Information Technologies in the region;
created a learning environment where the possibilities of new media are used
for the benefit of young people; encouraged young journalists for the best
materials and articles.
The volunteers of
‘’Zartonk-89’’ NGO visited to 10 regions of Armenia and had meeting with our
beneficiaries, they were given netbooks in order they could easily communicate
with us, to use the netbook as a tool in order to overcome the problems of
their community, get in touch with other young people and participate in the
process of problem soultion in their community.

I am Slava Nazaryan, I am interested in journalism
and Information Technologies. I was participated in ‘’The usage of social media
in civil journalism’’ workshop organized by Zartonk-89 NGO. The workshop gave
me an opportunity and knowledge on the sphere of media and journalism. I would
like to become a journalist and hope I will achieve it. I go in for sport,
dance and learn foreign languages. I live in Arapy community of Shirak region.
Arapy community is situated in the left and right bank of the Akhuryan river.
Naturally we cannot be indifferent for the pollution problem of Akhuryan river.
So we decided to solve that important problem.
