Eufrika.org – News for the African-European public

The webproject eufrika.org screens, collects and links to news out of and about Africa in order to contribute to the formation of a shared African-European public on the basis of journalistic coverage. Eufrika.org views itself as a nonprofit online medium which is geared towards the common good.

In its first phase eufrika.org is organized in the form of a blog. In this form it aims at collecting, analyzing, and sorting events, topics and debates of as broad a spectrum as possible to convey them to a European public, well edited and linked to at least one source. In addition, www.eufrika.org reports about Africa-focussed events, organizations and projects. Voluntary editors keep abreast of diverse areas of expertise, organizations, departments and regions to illustrate the social developments in their reality of life on both sides of the Mediterranean.

Who We Are and What We Do

During the second phase we aim at overcoming the most important language barriers and to have native speakers become involved in the project as authors, reporters and editors. Eufrika.org wants to create a real and lively exchange of information between two neighboring world regions through the transfer of political, social, cultural and entertaining subjects.

The project honors the principles of journalistic work such as independence, diligence, greatest possible objectivity and fairness. Its most important mediums are dispatches and reports, each supplemented with a link to the source and/or more detailed information on the internet. In-depth-analysis, interviews, portraits and background stories place the event in a context, identify connections and enable readers to form an opinion aside from topical events.

www.eufrika.org believes in the power and the mutual benefit of civil-societal commitment, the free flow of information as the basis of fair politics, the basic equality of all and the cultural evolution of the internet as the most important transboundary medium of communication of humankind.

The site is maintained by idealistic volunteers. We have great plans and are glad about any help. We have only just begun.
