STAND WITH HONK KONG JOURNALISTS
Palais de l’Europe, Lobby of the Hemicycle, 1st Floor
SWHKJ unites the world to firmly Stand With Hong Kong Journalists through carefully curated, meticulously researched art, photography and news media exhibitions. It is an affiliation of individuals from all walks of life and occupations whose mission is to share with the world the story of unrest, protest, violence and resistance that is taking place now in Hong Kong. It is a story that has been vigorously and courageously written and recorded by the many journalists who have been covering the events of the past few months. This sharing is now taking the form of an exhibition of professional photojournalists and reporting that have been compiled and arranged by the members of SWHKJ.
Platform to Promote Protection of Journalism and Safety of Journalists
Palais de l’Europe, Lobby of the Hemicycle, 1st Floor
The situation regarding freedom of expression in Europe has been steadily worsening in the recent years. The new and emerging trends - anti-media rhetoric, increase in online and offline attacks on media professionals, impunity for attacks on journalists, expanded surveillance powers, regulatory and financial pressure, political interference with the public broadcasting, excessive media ownership concentration – have led to a continent-wide decline of press freedom.
Join us at the Platform for Safety of Journalists stand for a conversation with media freedom activists from the Platform’s partner organisations.

In 2013, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom launched the international Animate Europe comic strip competition on the theme of human rights and democracy in Europe. Three times already, it has asked cartoonists from all over the world to share their ideas about Europe. The title for the 2019 edition is "Europe Plus". These are stories about the added value of Europe: What are the advantages of the European Union? What do you think the European Union has done well - in general or in your personal experience?
