Perspectives:
One Europe, many stories

Perspectives is a media platform for young Europeans who seek news beyond the infotainment delivered by social media. Seven newsrooms, mainly from Eastern Europe, contribute stories and commentary to tell today’s complex realities. Multiple voices and viewpoints thus create a varied, fact-checked multimedia news offer.

The topography of drone terror

In eastern Ukraine, Russian drone terror is hitting the civilian population with full force: the expanding grey zone, where drones target everyone, is blurring front lines and escape routes. This also puts evacuation teams, such as Roman and Eduard's, in mortal danger. JÁDU-reporter Kristina Thomas accompanied the two aid workers.

Lithuanian sandbox

In western Lithuania, at the confluence of the Akmenė and Jūra rivers, a unique ecosystem has developed: the Pagramantis Regional Park. Over a hundred square kilometres of forest stretch across the municipalities of Tauragė and Šilalė. Here, as in many other parts of the country, tradition and innovation come together to shape a greener future. But this was not always the case.
