Media have played significant role in politics, since the freedom of press was declared. We consider it as the core of democracy. 
It is journalists’ job to deliver information to masses. But recent shifts in media landscape have changed the way press interacts with politicians and citizens.

Can media really alter the outcome of the national and international politics? Many politicians accused journalists and media influencers of affecting society especially during elections. 
Can politicians use media to deliver their policies on international arena? 
These and other questions we will discuss during meeting with international trainers from the Netherlands.

 Meet our experts: 
Marjolein de Jong – international trainer at D66
Charley van Enckevort – international trainer at Jonge Democraten.
