Media and Journalism under Authoritarian Regimes (online discussion)
We invite you to the online discussion “Journalism and Authoritarian Regimes”, part of the CSF and EUROPEUM Institute for European Policy series on civil society under authoritarian pressure.
The conversation will bring together journalists and media practitioners from regions where authoritarian regimes seek to control information, weaponise propaganda and suppress independent reporting. These regimes often silence critical voices and manipulate media ecosystems to maintain power and shape public perception.
Alongside direct censorship and pressure, independent journalists working in the authoritarian contexts often face great personal risk. Together, we will discuss how we can help keep independent journalism alive in times of repression. Please register.
29 November 2025 11.00–17.00 CET
Resilience Lab for queer migrant activists, artists and community organisers (offline in Berlin)
Resilience Lab is a one-day participatory workshop held on the 29th of November, that brings together queer migrant activists, artists and community organisers in Berlin to explore how resilience lives in and moves through the body. Together, we will explore how oppression, belonging and care are experienced somatically, and how body-based tools can support social change and collective wellbeing. Participants will receive a printed mini-zine featuring soma for social justice tools, such as the four core practices explored in the Lab: Centering, Body Poem, Relationship Repair, and Embodied Breath Awareness. Registration required.
