Safe&Sane Conference Online: From Questions to Needs, From Needs to Solutions
In these challenging times, when journalists and media professionals are facing numerous challenges, it is important not only to adapt to new realities but also to find opportunities for development and support. We are fully aware of the difficulties journalists face in their work in times of war and crisis. That’s why we have come together to address not only the problems but also to find real solutions.
Our online conference aims to create a platform for discussing the most pressing issues in journalism during wartime, as well as supporting the mental health of the media community. After thorough work on our research, findings, and tools, we are ready to present these issues for public discussion in order to outline concrete steps to support media professionals.
This event will be an important step toward strengthening the media sector in Ukraine, fostering experience exchange, providing practical tools for working in a crisis, and creating a resilient and supportive media environment.
