INTERNET HIT: "INFORMATION AMBASSADOR" 900 people from throughout the world completed first sessions of hasbara seminar - hundreds of surfers await next course Some 400 people from throughout the Jewish world last week finished a month-long hasbara seminar, joining hundreds of others that completed a similar course at the beginning of the month. These numbers point to the great success of the new "Information Ambassador" Internet information course initiated by the Jewish Agency's Education Department in conjunction with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The course enables participants to receive information materials via e-mail, which they are required to drill through specific exercises on a special Internet site. Graduates receive certificates recognized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Approximately 900 people - students, teachers, principals, Jewish Agency emissaries and representatives around the world - registered for the first four sessions of the course. Names of hundreds more are on the growing waiting list in the Education Department's Smart Room. Courses will start in July, August and September. The course is intended to help familiarize people with the regional conflict and to provide them with the information tools needed to confront pro-Palestinian factors on campus, at conferences, and in other frameworks. The course supplements Israel's hasbara efforts to help improve the country's image in the hostile international media.
