Background
Georgia, Ukraine, and Moldova all suffer from the consequences of unresolved conflicts. The existing challenges are a daily part of public discourse in these countries and across Eastern Europe in general. The roles of the media, civil society and government are crucial in keeping lines of communication open across these divisions.
Georgia, Ukraine, and Moldova are also signatories to the European Union Association Agreement. In recent years, the relationship between the government, nonprofit, and media sectors of these countries has grown. As a result, there is a need to better understand how media outlets craft their narratives around ethnic and political groups in the region.
Journalists, nonprofits and government actors working on conflict sensitive subjects need the knowledge and skills to support relationships through building better communication channels. There is a lack of resources, such as manuals, which impedes the production of independent and high quality media content both domestically and regionally.
The Institute for War and Peace Reporting (IWPR), within the project Giving Voice, Driving Change - from the Borderland to the Steppes, intends to produce a handbook - Words of War and Peace.
