Information Workshop for Latvia and Slovenia
held in Brussels

On 12-14 March 2001, in the framework of the Membership Action Plan, NATO's Information and Press hosted an information workshop for Slovene and Latvian government information specialists. The aim of the workshop was to help the two aspirant countries fine tune their NATO information strategies, as well as explore aspects of information policy that they wished to concentrate on in more detail.

After two days of lectures and discussions, the participants were given the opportunity to present the lessons learnt during the workshop to the plenary session, as well as engage in an interactive exercise simulating real conditions in which their information policy or lines would be challenged by the public.

The workshop was run by members of the Office of Information and Press, with a significant contribution from public relations experts from the governments of the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary.
