A BRIEF REVIEW OF FAKE NEWS AND MEDIA DISCRIMINATION DURING COVID-19 CRISIS

WELCOME TO OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRIES AND CITIES

PARTICIPATING COUNTRIES

Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Its idyllic mountain setting and diverse heritage makes Sarajevo one of Europe’s most intriguing cities. Yet it is its indomitable spirit that makes it truly special. Although Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is a name which might seem inextricably linked to war and tragedy, the passing of 20 years has done much to heal this remarkable and resilient city, and tourism is now sharply on the rise. The reason is obvious. Sarajevo is beautiful. The city is tucked inside a long, thin valley and surrounded on all sides by forested mountains, and almost every crossroads and street corner provides at least a glimpse of an idyllic picture-postcard backdrop.

Sassari, Italy

Sassari is the second largest city in Sardinia with a population of 122,000; it is also one of the oldest settlements in the city and has a great deal of history and important cultural establishments. Located in the north west region of Sardinia, this city is actually the fifth largest municipality in Italy and has a large economy based on tourism and the services industry.

Sofia, Bulgaria

Bulgaria’s capital has a lot of stories to tell, and each historic attraction will give you a new perspective on Sofia’s complicated past. Take the churches here that have spent several centuries of their existence as mosques, the overbearing soviet architecture or the Roman history that is still being uncovered and blends with the modern city. Many of the buildings you’ll see are from the Bulgarian Revival in the late-19th century, when the country reclaimed its independence from the Ottomans. And always to the southwest looms the monumental Vitosha Mountain.

NIš, Serbia

Nis (Niš) is city in southeastern part of Serbia. This the third largest city and student center in Serbia. Nis is especially alive during summer with number of different cultural events and festivals which are taking place in this part of the year. Southern people are known for their hospitality and love for good food, company and music. Nis is city where east meets west and where traditions and history goes really good with new and modern.

Podgorica, Montenegro

Podgorica is located in central Montenegro. The area is crossed with rivers and the city itself is only 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) north of Lake Skadar. The Morača and Ribnica rivers flow through the city, while the Zeta, Cijevna, Sitnica and Mareza flow nearby. Morača is the largest river in the city, being 70 m or 230 ft wide near downtown, and having carved a 20 m or 66 ft deep canyon for the length of its course through the city.Except for the Morača and Zeta, other rivers have an appearance of small creeks. The richness in bodies of water is a major feature of the city.

Sinop, Turkey

It is believed that Sinop, lying at the northernmost tip of a peninsula extending from the Anatolian landmass into the Black Sea, derived its name from the Queen of the Amazons, Sinope, who lived there once upon a time. According to another story, Zeus, the King of Gods was so enchanted by the beauty of the nymph Sinope, the daughter of the River God Asopus that he settled her in the earthly locale commensurate with her beauty and the city was named after her.

Tirana, Albania

Tirana, the heart and capital of Albania, like all other European metropolises has never-ending movement and energy. With its clubs, bars, cafes, and taverns, Tirana is worth discovering by both day and night. The hospitality shown towards tourists is something that will mark your journey not only in Tirana but also all over the country. There are different thoughts regarding the origin of the name of the city. Some think that it relates to Tyrrenia (a name of Etruscan origins), while other believe that it relates to the word Theranda (harvest), or to the Tirkan (a castle at the foot of Mount Dajti).

SLAM CONSORTIUM

The partners of the project are organizations from Europe and the West Balkans, representing a balanced geographical representation of the challenge of mass media narratives with concern to migrants and refugees. Partner organizations, moreover, display specific experience and capacities in the fields of non-formal learning, media and migrant/refugee issues.
