We keep the issues of human rights, investigative journalism, and media literacy on our radar.

Mediathlon – a week-long training brought together journalists and media experts to dive into investigative and data journalism.

Mediathon – an opportunity to acquire and exchange know-how in investigative journalism.

A brand new award has been launched to celebrate and recognise the achievements of investigative journalism, those that have just revealed something new and unnoticed or already shook things up.

Looking for outstanding investigative works in several categories, the Future Stories Award is a unique opportunity for Lithuanian and Slovak journalists working in this field and focusing on the local stories of important but often less visible topics.
You can submit your work until 1 October 2021.

This is a fantastic opportunity for young journalists from EU countries contribute to the social change and to carry out a period of full time international voluntary service in Lithuania.
