The first international journalism forum in the region, a space where stories cross the borders defined by the Baltic Sea.

A breakwater is the final barrier that keeps a harbor safe, protecting it from the storm. In the same way, quality, independent journalism is the last stronghold that shields society from disinformation, censorship, abuse of power, authoritarianism, corporate greed, and the unchecked influence of Big Tech.

The festival is for journalists, reporters, media professionals, freelancers, podcasters, NGO activists, watchdogs, whistleblowers, students — and everyone who believes in the power and purpose of quality journalism.

We believe independent journalism requires not only courage, but also knowledge, skills, resources — and above all, solidarity: an active network that allows us to join forces. Alone, we are fragile. Together, we can defend the truth. Together, we can grow, create, and collaborate.
