Adygea plans to open school of bloggers

The Youth Parliament of the State Council-Khase of Adygea, which organized the first national contest of bloggers, plans to establish a bloggers' school.

Let us remind you that the republic's contest among young bloggers was held in Adygea for the first time on February 17-April 15. The contest was organized by the Youth Parliament of the State Council-Khase of the Republic and the Committee on Youth Affairs of Adygea with support of sponsors.

According to Ruslan Natakh, Chairman of the Youth Parliament, low activity of the contest's participants contributed to the decision to establish a bloggers' school. "We are counting on more active participation of the young people, and we expect the larger number of participants," he emphasized.

The contest, which took place within two months, received 14 applications from schoolchildren and students of the republic, including three collective applications. To participate in the contest, one was to create a blog, a personal or collective one. These were two nomination of the contest. However, the applicants in the second nomination gradually dropped out of the fight.

"Blogging is a job that requires time and constant expansion of scope," said one of the participants, who dropped out of the contest. "I and my team had not enough patience to push the matter through."

"We cannot say that blogging is too hard; however, it requires a lot of time and patience, ability to find some information that will be interesting to other people, and you need to be interested in something," says Anush Avagimyan, whose blog won the contest.

"The bloggers' school will be designed to help bloggers understand the blogosphere. We plan to open the school in September, and then, perhaps, the second national contest of bloggers will be held," said Ruslan Natakh.
