Transcarpathian Free Media

“Transсarpathian Free Media” was officially registered June, 22 2016. However, the founding fathers of the NGO have been working together since 2010, when they founded an internet source “Panorama Mukacheva” which soon was rebranded into “PMG.ua” (Panorama Media Group). This web-resource still remains the project of “Transсarpathian Free Media”. The majority of our members are professional journalists, eager to share their experience with others. Apart from that, our members take active part in various seminars, workshops and youth exchanges in terms of Erasmus+, Council of Europe, UN, OSCE etc. “Transсarpathian Free Media” is a young, but ambitious Ukrainian NGO which has managed to implement many educational projects and received several minigrants. - We have participated as a receiving organisation in the program of National Exchanges supported by EU and National Endowment for Democracy. - In cooperation with NGO “Youth Initiative of Cities” we have implemented a successful project “Live Dialogue from East to West” aimed at destroying the stereotypes between the youth from eastern and western Ukraine with the support of National Endowment for Democracy (NED). - We implemented a project supported by IREX.
