We end the year on the same trend we started on: growing repression of the free press, increasing numbers of journalists forced to flee, and a need for structural support of #exile#journalism.
We stay devoted to our mission and will keep you updated about our project next year!
Thanks to financial support by @CACSSS1 and the hard work of our activist-journalist-management-researcher team, the finish (& starting!) line for the launch of our magazine, where exiled journalists tell the stories that their governments don’t want you to hear, is in sight!
🚨 Update - cause yes, we’re still here & will soon be much more active 🚨
We are grateful to @UCC’s @CACSSS1 for the recognition of & belief in our project and for the seed funding for our #exile#journalism magazine.
We can’t wait to announce our official launch date soon!
🚨 celebration post 💃🏻
We are absolutely delighted to announce that the amazing Jo has joined our team to co-direct our magazine together with @MLouisaE through the next big steps (paperwork ✅, next: magazine launch 🙌).

We wish everybody a wonderful end of the year ✨

We’ll be recharging to continue our fight for #pressfreedom and against censorship with and alongside exiled journalists next year! ✊🏾🕊️✍️
6/12/18-6/12/23 : en 5 ans, En-GAJE a accueilli 90 journalistes en exil de 24 pays, a créé le média en ligne Latitudes, présenté des rencontres-témoignages dans des dizaines de classes, contribué à des demandes d’asile, organisé des cours de langue… Fier.e.s d’y être arrivé.e.s.
A must-read about the challenges exiled journalists face in (getting to) Europe.

Year 30 of #WorldPressFreedomDay ✒️🕊️
Year 0 of Ex-press ✊🏾✊📰
Countless years of defending free journalism 💪🏿
Always the perfect time to join the fight🚨
Help us raise awareness about #exile#journalism on this #WPFD & join us in supporting exiled journalists around the world.
We must fight to #FreeThePress because without free reporting, we end up with more and more dark spots in the world, where repression, abuse, and impunity reign.
🚨🕊️Join us in supporting exiled journalists who lost and risk a lot to continue reporting freely on their countries.
