Boosting Fact Checking Activities in the Black Sea Region

Project Duration: November 2022 – April 2023

Implemented by: Expert Forum

Funded by: Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation

Our project’s main aim is to create a more resilient and fact-based digital information ecosystem in the context of the Ukrainian war. We are at a unique time in our history where our borders are digitally invaded by huge volumes of propaganda and disinformation narratives that remain undebunked in public opinion. Our main focus will be the Black Sea Region, mainly Romania and Moldova with a focus on the Ukraine conflict. We will conducted the monitoring in Romanian (in Moldova the language is the same), Russian and Ukrainian.
