From December 8th to 13th, representatives of the Youth Cooperation Center of Dilijan NGO participated in an exchange visit to Bremen, Germany.

During the visit, our team engaged with several organizations to learn about their operations and discuss sector-specific issues.

The visit was organized with the support of the German organization Constructify Media, whose representatives accompanied us throughout the program.

Constructify Media is a non-profit organization that brings together media professionals, environmental experts, and social scientists. Guided by the principles of constructive journalism, the organization strives to promote a more balanced and solutions-oriented approach to media coverage.

Originating in Denmark and the USA, constructive journalism offers an alternative to the often-negative narratives in mainstream media. This approach does not ignore challenges or paint an overly optimistic picture of reality but instead emphasizes potential solutions and positive outcomes.

Constructify Media works to envision and report on what a sustainable and thriving world could look like, encouraging audiences to engage with media content that inspires action and fosters hope. Through its programs and collaborations, the organization aims to equip journalists with the tools to create content that not only informs but also empowers communities to drive change.
