The #LocalMediaMatters educational project has now concluded after several months of study trips, interactive sessions, expert lectures, creative workshops , international networking and friendships and of course parties —a project with many meaningful parts.
We extend our sincere thanks to our main partner, the Institute for Media and Communication Policy (Germany) and specifically Dr Leonard Novy, for their fruitful cooperation, to the German Federal Foreign Office for their financial support and to all other partners, stakeholders, and volunteers who contributed to this journey. Special thanks to our smart, ambitious participants who strive to become the best versions of themselves.
