Kyiv Media Hub – a series of monthly events and networking activities in the framework of “The Europe-Ukraine Desk” project.

These events are aimed to bring together Ukrainian journalists and their foreign colleagues to discuss professional topics related to journalistic work in Ukraine, share experiences, and create opportunities for collaboration. The Kyiv Media Hub is going to feature expert speakers, panel discussions, interactive workshops and non-formal gatherings. It is open to all journalists and media professionals working in Ukraine.

The Europe-Ukraine Desk was launched by n-ost at the beginning of 2023 with the purpose to foster exchange and cross-border collaboration between journalists from Ukraine and Europe. It consists of fellowship programmes, a subsequent grant programme for the development of joint publications, and a weekly newsletter summarising current discussions about Ukraine in Bulgaria, France , Germany, Hungary, Italy, and Spain. The project is funded by the European Commission and will run until the end of 2024.
