What moves us

Fake-News
Citizens and Libraries against Disinformation

In the fast-paced digital world of the 21st century it is crucial to be able to identify fake content. Having access to reliable information is critical – which is why libraries from both Portugal and Slovakia are uniting for the EU-funded project CLAD – Citizens and Libraries against Disinformation.

Ukraine - The country in the centre of Europe

Mit dieser Programmreihe wollen wir „das Land am Rand“ in die Mitte rücken: seine Filmemacher*innen, Autor*innen und vor allem die lebendige ukrainische Diaspora in der Slowakei. Wir haben die ukrainische Kulturmanagerin Anna Siedykh eingeladen ein ganzjähriges Programm zu kuratieren mit dem Ziel ukrainische und slowakische Kulturschaffende in den Austausch zu bringen.
