The project aims to increase awareness and advocacy to safeguard press freedom and democracy through the following actions: "Cartooning for Peace and Democracy" Exhibition.
As a time when democracies, all over the world, are weakened by war, populism, disinformation, inequalities, injustices… and even pandemics, this exhibition highlights the power of press cartoons and satire to reflect upon, and remind us all, of the importance of democratic values, freedom of expression, and equality between men and women, to promote peace and respect for human rights.
