Participants from Kharkiv, Konotop and Sumy got their certificates of completing an intensive course at the International School of Bloggers and Public Journalists

The ten-day collective work of students resulted in several multimedia media projects on socially important, resonant topics. Well, and in the end, of course, they got sincere confessions, grateful appreciation, and a photo shooting as a good memory. Not only training is behind the students, but also excursions to the TVchannel UA: Sumy, visiting of Anton Chekhov's museum, informal conversation with mugs of coffee, a farewell party in a restaurant, etc.

Special thanks to the project organizers - NGO "Institute of the Development of Regional Press" (Kyiv) and Interlink Academy (Hamburg, Germany).

At the end of the school, the founder of this organization, Mr. Werner Eggert, came to congratulate the participants. “We consider it is necessary to develop blogging and public journalism so that not only professionals could tell people what happens in the world, but that ordinary citizens could do it from their perspective, from their point of view,” Werner Eggert said in the interview to the studTV “11th Floor” 

"Unindifferent people are power for themselves," said Volodymyr Torbich, editor-in-chief of the "Fourth Authority" agency and trainer of the mediaproject. 

“I think that the summer school this year will be the start of great cooperation, first of all, with the Interline Academy,” added Professor Olena Tkachenko, the Head of the Department of Journalism, .

The financial support of the project is provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Germany. Sumy school of bloggers was preceded by Chernivtsi and Zaporizhzhia, and now Poltava has also joined the project.
