Mediengeist is a chance to implement a project to counter destructive narratives, fakes, and disinformation due to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Mediengeist is provided by the Goethe-Institut in partnership with the Ukrainian popular science media Kunsht and funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Germany. This is one of the thousands of the EU opportunities for Ukraine.
What is in the programme?

- Creation, launching and demo. During October and November you will launch your own project. The Mediengeist team will provide expert support and the necessary training. At the beginning of December, you will present the results offline.
