Exchange program for journalists 2023
The war in Ukraine and its impact on vulnerable groups
Russia's war of aggression has devastating consequences for the people in Ukraine and the humanitarian situation on the ground. Many people are experiencing bombardments, the deprivations of war, the loss of loved ones and the prospect of an uncertain future. Many people are fleeing within or across Ukraine's borders. They are received with great solidarity by people and NGOs from Germany and Moldova.
All people suffer dramatically under the war and yet it certainly affects the most vulnerable groups in society - including representatives of the LGBTQ community. Making the current situation of queer people visible in the media is the goal of the project. For this purpose, we invite journalists from Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova to a joint online fellowship program and a journalistic trip to Berlin in the fall of 2023. The study trip will focus on formats of cross-border journalistic exchange, talks with experts from the three project countries, meetings with representatives of the Ukrainian (LGBTQ) diaspora, a professional exchange with security experts and an intense dialogue with human rights and humanitarian organizations. We support the journalists in implementing their own journalistic projects, which will then be published on the project sites of the partner organizations and in important media in the three project countries.
The research and networking trip to Berlin will take place from 20-25th November 2023. The project is aimed at journalists from Moldova and Ukraine.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to working with you.
