Workshop
Supporting free and independent media in Ukraine: Lessons learned and the way forward
Tuesday 23 May
09:30 – 10:50, Lillehammersalen 2
Ukraine’s goal is to develop in the direction of a stronger democracy with press freedom, free speech, and transparency.
How can the international community best provide support to a country in war and for a future Ukraine with a stronger democratic framework?
At this roundtable meeting, we will invite key stakeholders to share lessons learned from the last year’s support to Ukraine and to look for tools for the way forward.
