Úvod-Články-World between the Lines

World between the Lines

Discover how the world is interrelated, look for the prejudices, that distort how we see the world.

Globalisation puts us in more or less direct relationship with people in other parts of our common planet. What has been far in the past, nowadays directly affects us.

Therefore it is no longer feasible to divide world into “domestic” and “foreign”. It needs to be seen and presented as a complex of diverse and often not fair relations, relations in which we directly take part. And this new awareness should be reflected in media and journalists’ outputs.

Journalism approach building on this understanding  is called Global Development Journalism. And exactly this approach is supported by the programme Svet medzi riadkami (World between the Lines) realised under umbrella of Slovak NGDO People in Need Slovakia.

Our programme enables both, future and current journalists to look betwen the lines, understand the origin of their own attitudes, stereotypes and prejudices, as well as enables them to apply this understanding into the practice in context of various global issues.
