Welcome

I am Olena Malynovska, an expert in media and communications. I help build greater cooperation with media outlets in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and the EU.

At the EU Neighbours East project, I introduced the media partnership approach to working with media. This is based on co-production, cooperation, fostering mutual interests and facilitating greater involvement. Media partnerships are a way to embrace greater collaboration through less prescriptive approaches, offering more inclusive opportunities for media partners to produce interesting and useful content for audiences on themes such as common values, democracy and international cooperation.

Let’s OPEN EAST together!

The media partnership approach is an innovative way of working with media, and it shows positive results:
