Supported projects

MILAN/ BRUSSELS - As artificial intelligence expands across Europe, so does the demand for data centers. Traditionally hosted in cities like Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Dublin, these hubs are nearing full capacity. Milan, with its strategic location in the Mediterranean, is emerging as a key player.

OSTRAVA – The primary target audience comprises educated citizens aged 25–55 in the Moravian-Silesian region, with a particular focus on Ostrava and smaller municipalities through the Microregions project. The Local Lens initiative specifically empowers national minorities and young journalists who currently lack opportunities in local journalism.

GELDERSE VALLEI – The target audience comprises residents of the Gelderse Vallei, including the general public, policymakers, and underrepresented communities. The Gelderse Vallei is a diverse region in the Netherlands, encompassing both rural and urban areas. It includes seven municipalities and has a population of approximately 310,000 residents.

MIELEC – The project primarily targets the local community of Mielec and the surrounding region, with a particular focus on the Roma minority. It addresses both adults and young people, fostering dialogue between Roma and the broader population, while promoting diversity, inclusion, and equal participation in local society.

KECSKEMET - The aim of KecsUP News is to engage young people aged 18–35 in Kecskemét who are open to social issues and are willing to participate in the local independent media scene. The target audience comprises engaged citizens who seek unbiased information, an analytical approach, fast and critical reporting, and content that is deeper and more thorough than the average independent press, with multi-platform accessibility.

VRANJE - The primary target audience of this project comprises the citizens of Vranje and the wider Pčinja District in southern Serbia, with an extended reach across the country through digital platforms. The audience consists mainly of young and middle-aged individuals between the ages of 20 and 45, from diverse gender and social backgrounds.

LISBON – Primary target audience: local residents in suburban areas of Lisbon, economically vulnerable groups, Afro-descendant communities, and residents of rural parishes.
This project aims to develop a sustainable and scalable distribution network for sharing independent journalistic content with marginalised communities across Portugal.

MILAN - The project focuses on local communities in Italy’s most contaminated areas. Its primary audience comprises citizens and young people exposed to severe environmental and health risks, who often lack access to reliable information to defend their rights. The initiative promotes inclusive journalism by engaging marginalised groups to reduce socio-informational inequalities.

MONTREUIL - By amplifying the voices of independent media, the platform will provide improved access to information for marginalised groups that these outlets aim to serve. It will also bring greater visibility to issues often overlooked by mainstream media.

VELENJE - Primary target audience: Local and regional communities in the Šaleška and Koroška regions, including ethnic minorities, low-income families, and foreign residents facing integration challenges. The audience is diverse in terms of age and gender, with a strong focus on community-oriented content.
