In an era marked by escalating assaults on press freedom, many journalists are being forced into exile to escape imprisonment, violence and death for simply reporting facts. But being far does not always mean being safe, as the tentacles of authoritarian regimes and shady interests reach beyond borders, and loved ones back home may suffer acts of reprisal. At the International Journalism Festival in #Perugia, Fondation Hirondelle with Jacqueline Dalton will give the floor this Saturday to four journalists from Eritrea, Myanmar, Russia and South Sudan to share their journeys into exile and their insights on keeping safe, staying sane and reporting accurately in the most trying of circumstances. For security reasons, this session will not be live-streamed. To give you the opportunity to find out on the work of media in exile, we have interviewed exiled reporters present at the panel able to speak out. Ekaterina Glikman, Frist deputy Editor-in-Chief of Novaya gazeta Europe, run by 70 journalists who had to flee their country following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, will reveal how Russian repression has impacted their lives and significantly hindered their crucial work as independent media. 👉https://www.journalismfestival.com/programme/2024/crossroads-of-journalism-in-exile #ijf24 #Russia #Myanmar #Eritrea #SouthSudan

Les journalistes sont-ils suffisamment formés et informés ? Peut-on parler d'écologie sans militantisme, ni jugement moral ? Comment garantir la fiabilité des sources ? 👉 Inscrivez-vous pour y assister en présentiel : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScMvnMaAMM-zmp3FP01jOIOVN3Ak11gZXJHLGQ--NtBn0q6KA/viewform Le Temps / L'illustré / Terre&Nature / 24 heures / RADIO TELEVISION SUISSE (RTS)

Les trois médias de la Fondation Hirondelle au Sahel, Studio Kalangou - Fondation Hirondelle, Studio Tamani - Fondation Hirondelle et Studio Yafa - Fondation Hirondelle, se sont intéressés aux défis liés à l’éducation dans leur dernière coproduction. L’accès à l’éducation dans la région a connu de nets progrès au cours des quinze dernières années : le nombre d’inscriptions dans l’enseignement primaire a presque doublé. Néanmoins, aujourd’hui, les multiples crises auxquelles font face les pays du Sahel accentuent les défis et mettent en péril les acquis en termes de scolarisation des enfants et des jeunes. Comment se présente la situation actuelle des écoles au Sahel ? 👇 #éducation #Sahel #Mali #BurkinaFaso #Niger

The #ICForumCH on "What is peace?", highlighted the importance of transparent and accessible information, critical dialogue and trust for sustainable peace. The thematic session on “How to overcome violence”, chaired by Laurent Goetschel, Director of swisspeace, gave the chance to three organizations working in the field of dialogue and peace mediation to share their recommendations for transparent and honest communication to build trust, essential for peacebuilding and conflict transformation. Here is a quick overview of the panelist closing statements : Adam Lupel, Vice President International Peace Institute, stressed that Generative AI marks the beginning of a new era for disinformation that should be taken very seriously. Governments, media organisations, tech companies and civil society must collaborate to create a multi-layered proactive strategy to counter the spread of false information. Caroline Vuillemin, Director General of Fondation Hirondelle, highlighted that we have to be very careful with top-down narrative. Fact-based information is key to build trust between diverse stakeholders and ensure better outcomes. Strong local and independent journalism can offer spaces for inclusive and fair dialogue. Andrea Cairola, Advisor for Communication and Information UNESCO, recalled the role of access to information and freedom of expression; of enabling free and pluralist media, as well as safety of journalists; and presented the innovative approach of the Social Media4Peace project in building resilience to potential harmful content spread online, and the Guidelines for the Governance of Digital Platforms. #Media and #Peace processes 👉 https://www.hirondelle.org/en/our-news/2036-media-and-mediation-our-position #Social #Media4peace 👉 https://www.unesco.org/en/tags/social-media-4-peace Guideline for the Governance of Digital Platforms 👉 https://www.unesco.org/en/internet-trust/guidelin
