Democratic Literacy and Humour (DELIAH)
We are very happy to announce we are an official partner in DELIAH, a research project examining the multifaceted role of humor in artistic forms, cultural spaces, and online and offline fora, identifying how humor can either support or undermine democratic participation and processes in Europe.
The project is a partnership between Ghent University, University of Groningen, University of the Basque Country, Comenius University Bratislava, the University of Göttingen and Cartoon Movement.
The project will shed light on humor practices in Europe and result in multiple toolkits and other aids for policy makers, educators, academics and professional satire makers. Stay tuned, in our next newsletter we’ll share more info on how to follow this project.
Workshop at IJF25
Already announced in our previous newsletter, we’ll be present at the International Journalism Festival next month! The festival program is now online, and if you want to join us for our workshop The power of editorial cartoons you can do so, either in person or online at 10:30 CET on Thursday April 10.
