The mission of the portal is to raise important social, economic and political issues of broadly defined East (Middle East and Eastern Europe) in the form of multimedia articles using the Talenote tool.

Our content concerns various phenomena occurring in terms of conflicting interests, competing ideologies and social inequalities that may interest a fairly diverse audience. Our ambition is to support independent and socially responsible journalism.

We try to understand global and local trends and present our message in an attractive form of audiovisual articles with the ambition to influence the imagination, sensitivity and intellect of recipients. We talk with observers of important events, participants of social processes, ordinary people as well as intellectuals and decision-makers.
