The European fund Civitates, to which Fritt Ord contributes, was established in 2017. The fund supports players of civil society, attaching importance to projects related to democracy, solidarity and independent journalism.
How can journalists, writers and artists continue to work during a brutal war of aggression? Ukrainian journalists and cultural personalities were gathered in Oslo in December to discuss this question.
As the European Union heads into a pivotal election year, sixteen philanthropic foundations including Fritt Ord have come together to form Civitates. Civitates is a consortium that provides funding for civil society actors to come together and revitalise public discourse. In the coming weeks we’ll be sharing the stories of some of our grant recipients.
