We thank the parents, but especially for them, for perseverance and involvement, » said Stela Petrușca, Deputy Director of Artico.

During one year of studies, quite intense period, the students learned from media professionals: Natalia Catan and Ion Railean, each bringing in front of the students authentic lessons from the backdrops of television journalism.

Some of them, honestly, could enter a TV station, » said journalist Ion Railean, mentor.

For her part, Natalia Catan, known for her activity in television, stressed the maturity and desire to involve young people and children.
