The youth organization of MGERB held a media training within the framework of so called „Political Academy“.

The participants are a group of 45 young people, representatives from all regions in the country, who were selected in advance, according to their CVs and after that personality tests were held, which were made out and checked by highly skilled psychologists and experts.

The Political Academy of PP GERB started in August this year, in Veliko Tarnovo by organizing the first summer university of MGERB called: „The young voice in European Bulgaria“.

„The purpose of the political academy, which we've organized, is to train you to be aware of your strong and weak features, to know how to react in critical situations and how to be adequate to the challenges of the political life”, this was said by Monika Panayotova, chairwoman of MGERB.

The young politicians were trained in several panels – “Media presence – theory and practice” and “Political rhetoric”. The first panel included the formal and informal contacts with the media, how press conferences were organized and what was the news in a certain event. The young people learned how the political debates and interviews were conducted and how the political messages should sound in front of different audiences.

The academy is supported by “Hanns Seidel” and “Konrad Adenauer” foundations.
