Tbilisi. The Civil Society Institute (CSI) has completed selecting the participants for the e-learning program. Over 900 individuals were interested in registering for the first learning cycle. After reviewing the applications, the Institute has selected 40 students for each course. Field of activity was one of the selection criteria - advantage was given to CSO representatives and students. Geographic area was another key criterion - 75% of students registered on e-learning courses represent various regions of Georgia. It is possible to take e-learning courses without registration, with a free listener's status. Classes on e-learning.ge take off on October 27. Second e-learning cycle will be announced in the spring. We would like to remind you that e-learning.ge offers online courses in four subjects - public policy analysis (lecturer Keti Melikadze), research methods (lecturer Iago Kachkachishvili), public finances (lecturers: Otar Kikvadze, Mikheil Dzagania) and advocacy/lobbying (lecturer Vazha Salamadze).
