‘For me, USF is an organization capable of uniting very different people. And it creates great ideas and projects. I haven’t been in the USF for a long time, but the people I meet here are definitely strong and wise enough to understand that things will start to change around us only as a result of our own actions. For me, Freedom in my work manifests itself, in fact, in media literacy. This is a skill with which you can more correctly assess yourself and the events around you. Media literacy makes it possible to evaluate information and understand where it is really high-quality and true, and where it is not. I think you are well aware of the positive consequences of such knowledge.’
