The project intends to spread pro-European and pro-democratic values among the local journalists and wider audiences. The title of the project ‘Wider Integration’ means that Ukrainians from East and West, from South and North need to be united to struggle for the better future of Ukraine. ‘Wider Integration’ is integration between Ukrainian citizens who have to be deprived from Soviet myths about each other and about outer world. Only responsible and fair journalism may allow to achieve democratic future for Ukraine.
After the workshop, its participants took part in the Strategic Discussion Club “Strong Ukraine: How to Insure Security?” attended by the leading experts and EU Ambassadors. Photos.
