Recently I gained more skills in last training session of ICFJ in Alexandria” Freedom of Expression in the Digital Age” and National Defince Training from NUD in Islamabad. It is really very useful for me I learnt many new things such as how to change the negative ideology into positive and how to stop the violence with your positive writing. How do we improve our writing skills? In that session one more interesting thing that was the new digital innovation for our profession. I hope that you will provide us more fresh and relevant thing in coming session.
