On 14-16 March 2024, the first edition of Voices, the European Festival of Journalism and Media Literacy, made of Florence the capital of journalism and information. Three days of an interactive setting with a mission, that of reshaping our relationship with information; and a conviction: a more informed society is a freer one.

“In a digital information sphere where almost anyone can say almost anything, the basic questions of who is a journalist, what is a medium, what content is credible and authentic, and which sources should we trust, become difficult to answer”, said European University Institute Research Fellow Iva Nenadic during the opening evening. The need for guidance amid all this noise is precisely what led seven European partners to embark on the organisation of such an event.
