We are happy to invite you to the World Press Freedom Day: Difference Day at BOZAR in Brussels on 3 May 2018, where we will have a debate about ‘Resisting Commercial Correctness in the Newsroom’ at 13:30 with really interesting speakers. Free entrance, don’t miss it!
For the 4th time in a row, VUB, ULB, EHB, Evens Foundation & BOZAR and their valuable partners and with the patronage of UNESCO are organising a spectacular day that celebrates the UN World Press Freedom Day. The program is packed with insightful debates, exhibitions & speeches on: ‘VOICES OF RESISTANCE!”
In 1993, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 3 May as World Press Freedom Day. World Press Freedom Day is about freedom of expression, with respect for the broad variety of voices and views. Freedom of expression implies the respect for opinions of others. It recognises the difference in people and their convictions. To us the World Press Freedom day is therefore Difference Day.
