Output/Results: |
In Armenia, there is a great need amongst public information officers for more training and education. The importance of a professional system of public information is more and more accepted. The level of professionalism in general however is quite poor. This has a negative effect on the communication between public authorities and public companies and the citizens. |

The participants managed to get a much better understanding of the importance of a professional way of working, learned new methods of working, improved their individual skills and established new contacts with other people working in the same field. |
