A stable guarantee of hromada’s success is a modern high-quality media space, the construction of which is being studied by the amalgamated hromadas of the Poltava Oblast.

The experts of the Poltava Local Government Development Centre, established with the support of the U-LEAD with Europe programme and MinRegion, developed and launched a training course on hromada media space development. For the purpose of greater efficiency and optimisation of resources the training is carried out according to the cluster method – for the AHs of each assumed region of the oblast (Southern, Prydniprovskyi, Gogolivskyi, Lubensky, Northern ones).

A series of educational events started in the Pishchanska AH. The training was attended by the representatives of the amalgamated hromadas of the Prydniprovskyi region – from the Kremenchuk an Hlobyne rayons.

Yuriy Isayev, media trainer and communications expert at the Poltava LGDC, conducted the “Basis of the Quality Newspaper for AH” training.

During the training, the AH representatives learn about the fundamental principles of a quality local newspaper: the necessary proportion of materials of different genres, illustrations to publications that attract a local reader.

The Media Series from the Poltava LGDC will proceed with the media literacy training for the amalgamated hromadas of the southern part of the oblast – the Novi Sanzhary, Karlivka and Kobelyaky rayons.
