    kitchen talks x Exile Talks: Covering life under Russian occupation

    10. Dezember um 18:00 20:00

    Reporting from Ukrainian territories temporarily occupied by Russia is not just difficult, it is dangerous. Journalists face threats from the occupying army, while local media are silenced and replaced with propaganda. As a result, the world sees only fragments of what life under occupation truly looks like, and countless human rights violations remain concealed from international audiences.

    This panel, organised in partnership with n-ost and CORRECTIV.Exile, presents journalistic insights from the temporarily occupied territories:

    How are Ukrainian men forcibly mobilised into Russia’s army? What does everyday life look like for queer people under occupation? What risks do Ukrainians face when attempting to flee? And how do occupying authorities attempt to erase the national identity of Ukrainian children?

    Kitchen Talks x Exile Talks: Narratives on Migration in German Media

    12. November um 18:00 20:00 in Berlin

    Migration is still very often framed in German media through the lenses of crisis, integration, or threat. These narratives shape public opinion and the political climate we live in. In this discussion, we will reflect on how these narratives emerge inside German media and newsrooms and how alternative storytelling can challenge the status quo and open space for more nuanced, inclusive coverage that can reshape public debates and contribute to a more cohesive and informed society.

    Join Shammi Haque (CORRECTIV), Rebecca Roth and a third speaker (tbc) for a discussion, hosted by CORRECTIV.Exile and n-ost.

    Exile Talks Cologne: Stories of South Sudan

    20. November um 19:00 in Köln

    South Sudan—the world’s youngest country—is also one of the most dangerous places for journalists. Since independence in 2011, political violence, corruption, and repression have driven many reporters and writers into exile. In this conversation, writer Stella Gaitano and journalist Joseph Oduha discuss leaving South Sudan, working from exile, and what it means to stay connected to a country you can no longer live in. Moderated by Sham Jaff (what happened last week).

    Join us for the discussion and stay afterward for snacks, drinks, and conversations.

    Exile Talks: Live from Europe’s Shrinking Newsrooms – Cases of Hungary, Serbia, Slovakia

    16. Oktober um 19:00 21:00 in Berlin

    Across Central Europe, press freedom is under siege. In Hungary, political control strangles independent voices. Serbian journalists face systematic intimidation. Slovakia’s independent media and civil society face systematic attacks.
    These aren’t isolated incidents—they’re coordinated campaigns by authoritarian leaders desperate to secure their grip on power, knowing that criminal trials and accountability await many of them once they lose control.

    Join us for an urgent conversation with frontline defenders of press freedom from Serbia, Hungary, and Slovakia. This episode of Exile Talks is organized in cooperation with the Friedrich Naumann Stiftung.

    How does independent journalism survive in authoritarian environments? Journalists from Azerbaijan and Georgia discuss how their work was affected by war, censorship, and repressive laws.

    The conversation will explore how Azerbaijan’s media climate worsened after the Karabakh war, and how Georgia’s independent media scene is at risk due to recent legal and political developments.

    What can exile journalism do in the face of such challenges? The event is kindly supported by ENGAGEMENT GLOBAL with funds of the BMZ.
