Journalism students from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University met with Leif Lonsmann—a media consultant from the Nordic Journalism Center (Denmark) — as part of a series of workshops titled “Truthful Media in Times of War.” The event, organized in cooperation with Ukrainian institutions, including the Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University and the NGO “Student Journalism Platform,” focused on media literacy and digital resilience during wartime.
On May 28, a workshop was held at King Danylo University by foreign guest professors – Amund Myklebust and Leif Lønsmann. The event was organized by the higher education institution in collaboration with the NGO “Student Journalism Platform”.
The NGO “Platform for Student Journalism” has united three universities to implement an ambitious project, with the first step being an English-language course titled “The Norwegian Model of Freedom of Speech for Ukrainian Journalism Students.”
On April 18, a lecture on “Ukraine, Russian propaganda, and Norwegian media” took place. This time the speaker was Bjоrn Johan Berger, a Norwegian blogger, a member of the Board of the Norwegian-Ukrainian Friendship Society, and a freelance author for several Norwegian newspapers and magazines. Bjоrn introduced students to the mood in Norway, characterizing it as “deep historical calm” and “naivety.” At the same time, he noted that the younger generation of Norwegians demonstrates a high level of media literacy.
How to start a dialogue with the characters of the plot? What to do when people are against being filmed? These questions were discussed at the lecture by Dr. Andrew Giarelli, a professor at the Anglo-American University in Prague, which marked the beginning of the partnership certificate course “True Reporting: Even When It Hurts” from Volodymyr Dahl National University and the Student Journalism Platform NGO.
The free certificate course offers Ukrainian university journalism students a unique opportunity to engage with an international team of media experts. You will not only deepen your knowledge essential for working in the challenging conditions of modern journalism but also enhance your English communication skills. Understanding that Ukraine is facing military aggression from the Russian Federation, it is crucial to learn to tell truthful and objective stories, expose fake news, and combat consciousness manipulation through mass media, even when it hurts.
This course, Oral Communication Techniques in Broadcast Media, aims to help students pursuing careers in journalism, particularly in broadcast media, develop and strengthen their oral communication skills. The course objectives include mastering the theoretical and practical techniques necessary for correct breathing, voice production, articulation, diction, and pronunciation.

World Refugee Day falls every year on June 20th, and it was designated by the United Nations in 2000. Previously, it was known as African Refugee Day. How is this day currently celebrated, and what do Ukrainians think about it? Perhaps you have already thought that the word “celebrate” is inappropriate here. Who celebrates war in their own country and the need to leave their homes?
