Our cooperationpartner: Faso Check Association

In a time when political and social challenges in Burkina Faso are increasing and press freedom is under pressure, the Faso Check Association plays a crucial role in protecting and promoting democracy and human rights. In light of the growing threat of misinformation and the constraints on civil society, Faso Check provides valuable initiatives and workshops to improve access to reliable information and foster open dialogue.

As part of this year’s Artist in Residence Program at the Village Opera, the Faso Check Association is entering a significant partnership to offer a series of workshops focusing on responsible media use. These workshops are specifically aimed at media professionals to enhance their media literacy. By training participants in how to handle digital content, the goal is to enable them to critically evaluate information and create their own reliable content.

Through this approach, Faso Check promotes a responsible dialogue and contributes to awareness by helping participants recognize and counter misinformation. The collaboration between Faso Check and the Village Opera offers a valuable opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of truth and integrity in the media landscape of Burkina Faso.
