4574722734_1639e9b7bd_mThe four-day training, same as the previous two trainings conducted in Skopje, covered a number of topics. At first the participants created and edited blogs on kauza.mk or joined some of the previously opened ones. In addition, they attended a training on critical review and argument writing conducted by representatives of the Youth Educational Forum in Skopje. The training enabled the participants to also get familiar with the opportunities offered by social media for advocacy and promotion, privacy and copyright on the internet, and with the practical ways of using multimedia on blogs.

These blogs were created during the training:

1. Protection of the rights of homosexuals – a blog with the purpose of reminding people that “Homosexuality is not an illness, but a sexual orientation.”
