Partners and supporters

Svet medzi riadkami is created in collaboration with academic institutions, media outlets and non-governmental organisations across Europe. We connect university courses with newsrooms and students with experienced journalists.

ACADEMIC PARTNERS

We teach courses focused on global topics and media and information literacy at selected journalism departments. Students from these universities can participate in the festival as co-organisers, receive reporting scholarships and have their work published in our media specials. The collaboration is a two-way process: university educators contribute to the creation of educational materials and lead discussions at the festival.

MEDIA PARTNERS

We work with newsrooms to create media specials on global issues, such as migration, climate change, human rights and social inequalities. We have received several journalism awards for this work. We also support young journalists in producing media content for well-established Slovak media outlets.

NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATIONS AND FOUNDATIONS

We collaborate with organisations dedicated to human rights, minority groups and global challenges. Thanks to them, we can organise media trips and international conferences, and raise awareness of issues that would otherwise not be covered by the Slovak media. Together, we also produce educational materials and analytical studies on the media's coverage of complex issues.
