The Voices festival aims at bringing citizens, journalists, and media professionals closer to each other, encouraging their dialogue, and celebrating the pivotal roles journalism and informed public play in societies while fostering critical thinking around disinformation. From tackling journalism’s evolution in a rapidly shifting digital landscape to equipping citizens with the tools to navigate these changes, Voices steers the conversation toward a more informed future through curated sessions, interactive workshops, exhibitions, and networking opportunities.

Behind the festival stands a consortium of European organisations committed to enhance media freedom and media literacy as essential elements for the functioning of our democratic societies. These are the Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom (lead partner based at the European University Institute),the European Federation of Journalists, the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom (ECPMF), the AISBL EBU-UER, the European Association for Viewers Interests, the European Journalism Training Association,  Lie Detectors, Savoir Devenir, and Deutsche Welle. In addition, the Journalists Union of Macedonia and Thrace (ESIEMTH) is an affiliated partner of the project. Voices is co-funded by the European Union.
