The good thing is that we immediately began to apply the acquired knowledge and skills in practice and began to work on increasing coverage. In addition, during the training, we managed to open an Instagram page and a Youtube channel, and we studied with interest what social media targeting is, and how it works. There was a lot of useful information in Google presentations and programs, practice with video editors. Now we have a new goal - to assimilate such a large amount of new information in a short period of time and begin to actively practice. We are sure that this information will help make the pages of our foundation recognizable and effective, ”says Gulzhamal Urkunbaeva, a participant of the online course, Director of the Danida Public Foundation from Osh.
