We’re pleased to announce that between December 9-11, 2022, we welcomed a group of 15 civic and political leaders from V4 countries and Ukraine for a second in-person session in Prague. The United 4 News: Building democratic resilience against disinformation program gathers people with diverse backgrounds, both personal and professional.

The group was well-equipped with the means to conduct their workshops on disinformation. They had trainings on Public Speaking and Countermeasures against malign foreign interference in elections and specific, locally-important topics: Disinformation campaigns and Legal Aspects of Fighting Disinformation in Czechia. We have cooperated with experts from Prague Security Studies Institute and European Values Center for Security Policy.

The group also had a chance to meet with the Senior Director for Europe at the National Endowment for Democracy, Assia Ivantcheva, to talk about the importance of media literacy and supporting local initatives. They also explored the beautiful city of Prague and enjoyed the Christmas markets.

We want to thank everyone who participated and our partner, the National Endowment for Democracy, for making this session a success.

See you in Tallinn for the third in-person session!
