RUMB stands for Russia, Ukraine, Moldova and Belarus working together on common problems and common solutions in this region. We are the youngest working group of the CDN, but we already have our Strategy and ready for great changes. This year our group is focusing it’s work on the highly sensitive topic in the RUMB region and in the whole Europe – information war.
We are currently working on building capacities on critical thinking and democratic participation of young people by exploring methods and tools for self-protection against the use of fallacious and deceptive misinformation, slander, propaganda and political astroturf in mass media and manipulation of public opinion. If you are interested in the RUMB region in general or in ongoing topic of information war, then this is the right group for you!
