Most media and communications professionals know us as the organizers of the annual LMF conference, which we’ve been hosting since 2013.

Over the years, we’ve grown into much more than the conference.
We’ve built an entire ecosystem of projects and programs aimed at strengthening media and communications in Ukraine and beyond.
Our work is grounded in a simple but powerful belief:
A healthy, democratic society starts with healthy communication.
Since the start of the full-scale invasion, we’ve expanded our mission.
Beyond supporting media and journalists, we now empower a broader community of communication actors — media outlets, civil society, government institutions, and more.
