In the scope of this project, a dialogue took place and a transnational network of journalists - "Mass Media and Conflict Transformation" - out of conflicting post-Soviet States (Russia and Ukraine, Azerbaijan, and Armenia) was created. The project participants were co-writers of 11 publications, in which they reflected on the causes and consequences of conflicts in the post-Soviet space. The depiction of collaborative work is the praxis of facing the current deep separation of conflicting communities and the possibility of an alternative conflict-ideological discourse.Different events took place in the context of this project (seminars, summer school, dialogue, public presentations) in three different countries: Ukraine, Russia, and Germany.
