The Project "Support to the implementation of the national programme of demographic security of the Republic of Belarus" funded by UNFPA and the Government of the Russian Federation organized on November 4 an advocacy workshop for journalists in Hrodna. It's primary goal was to identify key topics and types of publicity for the National Programme "Health of the nation and demographic security of the Republic of Belarus". The format of the event was a moderated dialogue of journalists, representatives of government bodies and organizations, and experts.

Marianna Sokolova, Manager of the project "Support to the implementation of the national programme of demographic security of the Republic of Belarus" noted, "Demography as a topic requires a thoughtful and a responsible attitude of the media.
