Youth Takes Center Stage: Russo-Belarusian Media Forum Combats Disinformation

The Third Russo-Belarusian Forum of Student Media, "Media Industry," convened at Pskov State University from May 13-17, 2025. This forum, focused on creating a unified information space within the Union State, actively involved students in shaping information policy. Participants discussed strategies to counter disinformation campaigns originating from the West. One student commented, "It's crucial for young people to participate in shaping the narrative and protecting our shared values." The initiative, supported by the Pskov Oblast administration, aims to establish a media hub promoting the values of the Union State among young people. This collaborative effort underscores the importance of youth engagement in countering misinformation and building a stronger information environment.
