>From April 2 “Huysi kamurj” public organization announced a contest
of journalistic materials on problems of the disabled people with
the topic “Equal Opportunities”. As the head of the organization
Susanna Tadevosyan mentioned the aim of the contest is to “encourage
journalists touch upon problems of the invalid more thoroughly.” Today
during the conference journalists were taught how to elucidate problems
of the invalid.

“There are cases when correspondents do not realize the problems of
the invalid and present the material wrongly. Thus we are isolated
from the society,” noticed Nshan during the seminar. The latter is
a seminar leader at “Huysi Kamurj” and being a 2nd category invalid
and having problems with his spine does not matter for him.

The representative of Russian “Perspective” organization Denis Rooz
was also present at the seminar. The latter has come to Armenia to get
acquainted with the inclusive education (i.e. when disabled children
study with the others) in Armenia and take our experience in the field
to Russia. “I’ve been to 2 schools with inclusive education and I see
that children do not differentiate between normal and invalid pupils,”
he mentioned.

To note, there are 6 schools with inclusive education in Armenia.
