"World cafe": Empowering Citizen Journalists and Democracy

On February 3rd, two discussions were held at AlterBridge University using the "World Café"  method. The discussion café hosted five topics, including challenges within the modern media ecosystem, the role of citizen journalists in strengthening democracy, and more.


Together with moderators, over 50 students created an innovative environment for critical thinking, engaged in discussions and debates on current topics, and presented their ideas through presentations.


At the end of the discussions, students wrote impressive essays. Special thanks to the host university Alterbridge University • უნივერსიტეტი ალტერბრიჯი.
