Media literacy training in Vayk
The “Media literate citizen” training in Vayk started with participants transforming their expectations into hashtags. The chairperson of the Institute of Liberal Politics Tatevik Matinyan delivered an opening speech.
She made an interesting comparison between media literacy and diet: “People do not eat everything and quite often develop diets. The same way is the information: we shouldn’t consume everything, we should choose”. The trainers were experts of Media Initiative Center Gegham Vardanyan and Ani Yeghiazaryan.
