Ambassador of Great Britain Holds Informal Press Conference for Our Express Journalists

On December 14 the journalists of the youth program Our Express were invited to an informal press conference held at the Embassy of Great Britain in Georgia. The meeting lasted for about 40 minutes. Judith Gough, Ambassador of Great Britain to Georgia told young journalists about her impressions, differences between the conditions the non-formal youth in Georgia and Great Britain live in, education system and many more issues of interest. Ambassador also answered the questions regarding religious and ethnic minorities in both countries.On their side teenagers representing the program told Ms Judith Gough about the deficit in youth ideas and

viewpoints in the Georgian TV space, TV crisis and development of new media.

International youth program Our Express (www.teentv.ge) has been on the Georgian Public Broadcasting

(GPB) since October 2011, every Sunday at 11:30 am. The project is made possible with the financial support of the Embassy of Great Britain.

The youth program was first launched in 2005. Since then, due to its non-formal views and stance Our Express was taken off of Imedi TV air (for the TV story about Helloween) and later off of TV company Mze (for the TV story about the presentation of the book).
