Last but (hope) not the least.

It's been almost two months, but the impressions and memories are vivid enough to make some comments on ci-workshop. besides i should keep my promise and fulfil all the tasks put by our kind coach Martjin.

The 3-day lasting workshop was a big success inspite of the techinical problems and dead-lines. Digital revolution is not yet that spread on Caucasus but the audience was eager to learn more about the facinating new opportunities. A thought-provoking beggining made all the participants act as creative as possible. Acting as true IT-specialists desighning a web-site for the institute was a moment of great inspiration.

In his work Martijn de Waal,a dutch writer and researcher who specialises in the relationship between technology, media and culture,managed to combine theory and practice, facts and suggestions, entertaintment and hardwork, teaching and studing. Giving all the necessary background information, He deppened into the opportunities (and threats) that Internet and new media give to the journalists and those involved into political studies.

These were 3 days that broadened our mind and stayed in our hearts.

Thank you

Journalism a success. I greatly enjoyed your contributions to the
discussion and learned a lot about the situation in the Caucasus as
well. I hope you enjoyed the workshop and wish you all the best.
Please do not hesitate to email me might you have any follow-up
questions. And please feel free to add your own experiences to this
