Journalists and bloggers from Central Asia are encouraged to apply for multimedia training program in Prague, Czech Republic.

Transitions Online (TOL) launched a new multimedia program for journalists from Central Asia called Training the Trainers. Graduates of the program will be able to lead their own workshops on both new media and multimedia topics and serve as leaders in bringing the latest trends and tools to their home regions.

Two five-day workshops will be held in Prague (one in 2011 and one in 2012) in Russian and English, with a mix of regional and international expert trainers. The first workshop will be held on April 26-30, 2011 focusing on two major topics: working effectively with multimedia for journalists, citizen journalists and bloggers as well as using social media to promote materials, websites, and campaigns online.

TOL will recruit a total of 10 participants (two from Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan and two each from the Uzbek and Turkmen communities who are living abroad).
