Ten NKR women take part in civil journalism project

On December 1, the Stepanakert Press Club presented a brochure and granted certificates to participants of the first phase of the project of studying the basics of civil journalism and public activity for non-working women.

The first phase of the project involved ten women residing in the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR). They were chosen on a competitive basis; and the programme for them was free of charge.

The brochure includes ten materials written by all the participants. They cover various aspects of NKR life – people with disabilities, refugees, pensioners, repressions in Soviet times, everyday life of a villager, hotel business, and morals in the capital, Stepanakert Airport and war in the Karabakh conflict zone.

"This project is unprecedented in the history of the Stepanakert Press Club, since usually we work with professional journalists; however, the project 'Civil journalism and public activity for non-working women' had the aim, as its name suggests, to attract non-professional journalists," Gegam Bagdasaryan, the head of the Stepanakert Press Club, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
