Summary of the project implemented by NGO TNT
The project focuses on the participation of civil society in the decision-making process, digitalization, the fight against fake news, freedom of expression, digital and media illiteracy, fake news and the spread of disinformation are increasingly present in Montenegro. Our goal is to use creative potential of distinct cultural workers and combine it with the young artists and activists in order to point out the perceived problem. An animated gif is the perfect little form to express these kind of creative ideas. Its adaptable form makes gif the indispensable part of everyday communication. Its fast and effective way of conveying an idea. Combined with humor and satire they can make a difference.
