In order to raise awareness among journalists of the importance of minorities in
Iraq and Kurdistan, IMCK has started its first (out of three) workshop(s) on minorities
in Iraq. Journalist, writer and trainer Sa’ad
Salloum opens the first session by introducing the journalists to the different topics that are related to the rich diversity that can be found in Iraq's ethnic, cultural and religious landscape. </div>

<br /></div>
What can people do to protect the environment? That is a big question in the 3 day environment awareness training that started in IMCK’s office in Sulaymaniyah. <br />
The training was opened on Sunday by IMCK director Julia Shaw. The Director of the Environment Department of Sulaymaniyah, Mr Hama Saeed, and Mr. Khaled Ibrahim, the Spokesman of the Environmental Protection and Improvement Board. <br />
<br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br />
The main subjects of the training were desertification, biodiversity and water management. Various experts (Amanj Omer from Green Kurdistan and Dr. Dairy, the head of Geology Department of the College of Science, Sulaymaniyah University) informed the participants about the subjects and IMCK lead trainer Khaled Sulaiman taught the trainees how to translate these topics into journalistic reports. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br />
'Reduce, reuse, recycle and repair' is a slogan, and a message, that fits the training, because working towards a better environment starts with yourself. Everyone could and should be a guardian of the environment. For instance, people could reduce water usage, reuse material, recycle paper and repair a phone that maybe doesn't need to be thrown away. </div>
<br />
The environmental protection and improvement board sponsored and initiated the training. IMCK hopes many journalists will work together with the Environment Protection and Improvement Board in the future to gather information and subjects.<br />
