Alla Fedorina, associate professor of the department of journalism and philology of the FPSC Sumy State University, took part in the fall school organized by the Moldova Institute Leipzig (MIL) on the topic "Strengthening proposals for media competence in public television and radio broadcasting." Training within the framework of the project "Strengthening media competence offers in the public law of Rundfunk" took place in Leipzig, Hamburg and Berlin.

Five Moldovan and five Ukrainian women - specialists in journalism and media education - completed the training. From Ukraine, in addition to the representative of Sumy State University, it is the editor-in-chief of the editorial office of the Ukrainian social media Tetyana Rykhtun; trend journalist Olga Lisovenko; journalist Maria Ivanova, who before the "small" war worked for Donetsk television, then moved to Dnipro, but the "big" war forced her to leave for Germany; Associate Professor of Lviv National University Solomiya Onufriv.

Dr. Maryna Dumbrava, coordinator of the MIL project, noted: there have never been so many relocations of schools. But the program was planned to be rich in order to provide the participants with as much information and useful knowledge and skills as possible in a short time. So the week included offline and online meetings, trainings, visits to TV companies...

On the first day, the journalist, Dr. Ulrike Fischer-Butmala, deputy head of the board of IDEM, introduced the topics of the current situation in the mass media, the general structure of the German mass media and their role in media education. Several classes in Leipzig were devoted to fact-checking. The media competence portal was presented by employees of the NDR channel in Hamburg. Radio expert Martin Goldermeier from the Berlin ARD studio told how to counter fakes. And, of course, the short half hour with the press secretary of the Federal Government of Germany and the head of the Press and Information Bureau, Steffen Hebestreit, was interesting.

And there were excursions, informal communication and, of course, inevitable conversations about the war in Ukraine and the attitude to it in Germany.

On the last day - at the conclusion of the school - the participants presented their ideas on the implementation of media literacy in the context of already active programs and projects. If they are implemented, the level of psychological resistance of society to the informational pressure of Russia should rise. And this is important, because #mediaspace_leads_to_the_universe, and why does the world need dirty Russian fakes?
