MIDAS

More than 50 million people in the European Union speak a language other than the official language of their country. The European dimension opens up opportunities for cooperation between minority daily newspapers across the continent and for EU institutions to support minority languages and their print media. National states continue to violate minority rights and the freedom of the press. MIDAS, as a network, intervenes to prevent all forms of violence in the resolution of minority issues. In order to fulfil these functions properly, MIDAS provides opportunities such as internship programmes for journalists to develop knowledge through information exchange and to report on the protection of minorities and cultural diversity in Europe.
