For the educational activities, our main target group is the young generation of journalists. We combine long-term education with brief training courses for various target groups and audiences.
During their studies at CI, our students of journalism start their careers in Armenian and international media, or at the press-centres of civil bodies and IOs. Experienced working journalists help the students to acquire and improve their professional skills.
