As every year, Cartooning for Peace is pleased to take part in the World Press Freedom Day. The 2021 edition of the international conference, organized by UNESCO and the government of Namibia, is placed under the theme of “Information as a public good” and takes place from 29 April to 3 May in Windhoek (in situ and online).
In championing this notion, the World Press Freedom Day affirms the importance of defending information as a public good, wishes to explore what can be done in the production, distribution and reception of content to strengthen journalism and advance transparency and empowerment while leaving no one behind. The theme of the WPFD is of particular relevance to all countries of the world as it takes into account the evolution of a communications system that impacts on our health, human rights, democracies and sustainable development. In the context of this day, Cartooning for Peace proposes a debate and an online cartoon campaign.
