The EU-LAC Foundation, with the support of the Nordic Institute of Latin American Studies of the Stockholm University and the Instituto Prensa y Sociedad, organised the II EU-LAC Forum of Journalists with media workers from the European Union, Latin America and the Caribbean. Participants exchanged on the status of the EU-CELAC strategic partnership in times of multiple, global crises, to generate inputs towards a new narrative on the bi-regional partnership from a societal perspective, and to participate in a session on collaborative journalism and evidence-based reporting.
Following up on the I EU-LAC Forum of Journalists, celebrated in Costa Rica in January 2020, which provided an informal platform for debate among journalists on EU-LAC relations and aimed to foster mutual understanding between journalists and media experts, this II Forum strived to enhance the achieved synergies and alliances with new perspectives and manifold approaches. The Forum encouraged a bi-regional collaborative network to increase cooperation and alliances between journalists from LAC and the EU, particularly with a view to re-publication methods and information transfer.
