Series of Webinars on Trending Topics in Media Literacy

Mediacentar Sarajevo, in cooperation with regional partners, is organising a series of online talks with regional and international experts focusing on the most current issues regarding media literacy. Five talks in total will be organised between 22 and 29 April, 2021. Participation is open to all interested parties.

For all events there will be simultaneous translation into B/C/S, Albanian and Macedonian.

Thursday, 22 April, 12-13.30 CET – opening event of the series will be a panel discussion about an increasingly relevant topic – Revenge porn: A digital threat exacerbated by the pandemic. Revenge pornography is a type of online violence to which an increasing number of young women in the region is exposed. The problem showed its scale when it was announced at the beginning of March that there were almost a dozen groups on the Telegram app in which tens of thousands of men, mostly from the Balkans, exchanged various pornographic content. Experience in Europe and the region indicates that revenge pornography is on the rise during the COVID-19 pandemic.
