Building Social Cohesion and Resilience to Disinformation in Central and Eastern Europe
The British Council introduces the Credible Local Voices project, an initiative aimed at countering disinformation and fostering social cohesion across Central and Eastern Europe.
The project is designed to develop critical skills and build cohesive communities by exposing citizens to a diverse range of information and opinions. By engaging various communities, we offer opportunities to listen to and learn from different perspectives, develop essential skills such as critical thinking, media literacy and problem-solving, and motivate participants to collaborate for positive change.
The primary objective is to enable participants to become proactive, critical consumers of media, more discerning towards narratives and more open to other sections of society.
We work closely with NGOs, civil society organisations, independent cultural organisations, film festivals and research institutes to achieve these goals. Through a series of workshops, training sessions and cultural events, we aim to create platforms for dialogue and understanding among diverse groups.
The Credible Local Voices project is delivered by the British Council in partnership with a wide variety of local organisations and initiatives.
