Parrhesia or fearless speech is the focus of the current programs of Blinken OSA. Following the launch of a seminar, the Archives is hosting the second event, a roundtable co-organized with the Verzió International Documentary Film Festival. This year, Verzió has dedicated a whole section to fearless speech, titled Parrhesia: The Moment of Truth.

How can online or offline media or NGOs communicate without fear? How and where can an NGO’s case reach the media dedicated to the freedom of press? Do they aim to express mutually reinforcing topics? During the roundtable discussion, communication experts from NGOs and editors of online platforms will exchange their experiences in conveying a message that will strengthen democracy. Do they apply self-censorship, and if so, why and how? This discussion is both an exchange of experiences and request for assistance wherein representatives of NGOs, journalists, and editors are all welcome to participate.
