DW Akademie and partner organizations also contributed to the UNESCO conference with discussion panels and workshops. The topics included environmental journalism, countering disinformation in this super election year and the question of how media development organizations can ensure the economic survival of quality media. One maxim prevails - that the human right to freedom of expression and access to information can only be defended together. “The concept of freedom is at the core of our work” In an interview, Carsten von Nahmen, Managing Director, and Natascha Schwanke, Director of Media Development, describe DW Akademie's activities amid global crises. Our Work: Action with impact Wars, conflicts and climate crisis: Information saves lives Afghan refugees have been living in northern Pakistan since the 1970s. There, refugees face restrictions and discrimination and often live in poverty. DW Akademie and the news agency Tribal News Network (TNN) are working together to train Afghan community reporters. Together with Pakistani professional journalists, they learn how to use constructive journalism to effectively report on Afghan refugees and the issues they face. They have since produced online and video reports about the refugee community, focusing on solidarity and resilience. Ukrainian media continues to develop two years into the invasion Upon the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, DW Akademie looks back on the work local media have accomplished amid incredible adversity. Viable media Independent journalism needs sustainable business models and a n effective editorial strategy. Yet other aspects also influence the economic success of media, such as legal and political framework conditions, technological innovations and the economies of networks. Media viability is crucial to ensuring that citizens trust independent media and have access to reliable information - especially in times of crisis. Hannah Arendt Initiative: A network to protect media workers Journalists and media houses under threat receive support from civil society organizations. "When you are in exile, you are not in a good psychological place. Writing is somehow difficult, but I still try. If I stop writing, I stop existing." Participant of the Space for Freedom project, a part of the Hannah Arendt Initiative, aimed at supporting and training media professionals in exile Nothing working? Try Colmena, a digital newsroom in your pocket Together with 23 organizations from 13 countries, DW Akademie has developed an app to enable local media to reliably inform their communities - even in times of crisis. Disinformation on the front lines: "War is not just bombs and tanks" Russia's invasion of Ukraine has shed new light on foreign disinformation campaigns in Africa. Justin Arenstein, founder of Code for Africa (CfA), sees coordinated spreading of disinformation before conflicts arise. Journalism to save the rainforest Environmental conflicts are coming to a head in the countries of the Amazon basin. Illegal mining and deforestation are rapidly destroying local livelihoods with repercussions for the global climate. Changing perspectives: A world in transition African filmmakers Akuol de Mabior (center left), Ike Nnaebue (center right) and their crews have a lot to celebrate. Films from Generation Africa, a project of DW Akademie and the South African organization STEPS, deal with the future of Africa’s youth, the pressing issues of migration as well as climate justice. DW Akademie works to train filmmakers from the Global South and supports them in producing and screening internationally competitive films and series. The project makes an important contribution to freedom of expression and acts as a driver for social change and dialogue. "A Universe full of stories" In Kenya's Kakuma refugee camp and Kalobeyei integrated settlement, residents are trained in producing audio content. Producing the program can be difficult especially for female community reporters. Migration and the media DW Akademie works to ensure that refugees and migrants can exercise their right to access information and freedom of expression while promoting dialogue with host societies. In Bangladesh, for example, we have been supporting Rohingya refugees and locals through our partner organizations since 2018. Working together, they produce a weekly radio show on how to better cope with everyday problems. In Latin America and the Caribbean, we encourage journalism that spotlights the challenges migrants face along dangerous routes to the US. "Country Queen": Groundbreaking Kenyan series premieres in Germany The series is in many ways the first of its kind for the country and the region. Starting on June 15, you can watch the first season of the DW Akademie-supported series on Arte in Germany and France. "Feminism actually means freedom" - How to make feminist journalism a success story Michelle Nogales, co-founder of Bolivia’s first feminist online magazine, is reporting on women and the LGBTQ+ community. Nogales explains why feminist journalism shows "the people’s reality". Women and religion: "For a long time, I thought I wasn’t leadership material" Women representatives from different religions met at DW Akademie for a special one-week communication workshop. Together they worked on messages to promote interfaith dialog. Developing media. Strengthening human rights.

Lindsey Kukunda, Uganda, director of Not Your Body, one of DW Akademie's partner organizations within the Women@Web network in East Africa "Access to the internet is a universal human right, in the same way access to medicine, and education are.

The Women@Web project provides support and teaches women media skills to empower them to participate safely in the digital world. Developing media. Strengthening human rights. Naïma Hamdani, Morocco, radio presenter Mères en ligne (Mothers on Air) by 100% Mamans "I now represent a large community of single mothers.
