Targeting large swaths of the population, they reach especially minority communities via Russian state-sponsored media as well as social networks, undermining social cohesion and weakening citizen’s trust in fundamental values such as freedom, equality and democracy.

With a strong focus on media and information literacy (MIL), the project "For Freedom and Democracy – Strong Voice in Fragile Contexts" aims to strengthen the ability of citizens to process information critically and enhance youth media literacy.
