FMWJ Forum 2024Cover Twitter

‘Un/walling Europe’ is the theme of this year’s programme: journalists from all over the world will come together in a four-day event in Bari and Lecce.

Building bridges, not walls, as journalists who are committed to democracy, and therefore to peace.

 

It will bring together journalists, diplomats, researchers and others from Uzbekistan, Mexico, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Italy, Yemen, the Horn of Africa, France, Spain, and Malta, who each bring their testimonies of life and work, lighting a beacon for the need to build bridges of dialogue and break down cultural and social barriers.

 

The new frontiers of information – from the live voices of journalists who build bridges of peace every day with their work – is the fulcrum around which all the presentations will revolve.

 

22 and 23 November at the University of Bari, 24 and 25 November at the Municipality of Lecce.

 

Each with her own story to tell, the journalists of the Forum will speak freely, at the service of truth, in the face of the violence and censorship which are only too common and threaten journalism everywhere.

 

The speakers offer their particular contributions to the way of viewing reality through the female perspective, narrating their personal battles to affirm their right to speak out against discrimination and stereotyping.

At the Forum, conceived by journalist Marilù Mastrogiovanni and organized with Gi.U.Li.A., the association of freelance women journalists, local Puglian journalists will be in dialogue with colleagues representing national and international newspapers at this marathon event aimed at evidencing and repudiating all forms of violence against women.

The Forum presents a crossroads of ideas, an unrestricted platform on which to share stories and talents, with the aim of producing concrete outputs by the end of each day.

Luciano Pezzotti, Italian Ambassador and special envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Horn of Africa, will open the proceedings, while closing remarks will be made by Pauline Ades-Mevel, Spokesperson, Reporters without Borders for the EU and the Balkans. The journalists will be presented with a work by the social photojournalist Marcello Carrozzo.

LETTERS OF INTENT: ‘Database of 100 experts’

The online database 100esperte.it, launched by GiULiA and the Osservatorio di Pavia, with the support of the Representation in Italy of the European Commission and the collaboration of the Bracco Foundation, to date contains almost 200 curricula of scientists and economists, selected according to strict and transparent criteria. The aim is to increase the visibility of authoritative, competent and passionate women professionals who have been systematically neglected by the media. (According to the Global Media Monitoring Project 2015, in almost 82% of cases it is men who explain and interpret the world.)

Strategic sectors have been chosen on the basis of the economic and social development of our country –Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics as well as Economics and Finance – where women have historically been under-represented.

Rector Antonio Felice Uricchio, and Serenella Molendini, National Equality Councillor and President of CREIS, the European Research Centre for Sustainable Innovation, will sign two collaboration agreements for the promotion of research by southern Italian women scientists, through scouting activities, in collaboration with the project “Database of 100 experts”. The aim is to increase the dissemination of these scientists’ research results alongside an equal representation of gender in the mass media.
