Nordic Days in Rēzekne

On 25 September, the Danish Cultural Institute held the seminar “The COVID-19 Case – Fake vs. Fact” in collaboration with the Baltic Centre for Media Excellence and Nordic Journalist Centre. The seminar focused on disinformation in relation to the current COVID-19 crisis. Danish journalist and media expert, Leif Lønsmann, gave a presentation on current examples of mis- and disinformation in the light of COVID-19 and presented tools for distinguishing between information and disinformation.

 

On 27 September, the Danish Cultural Institute provided a screening of the Danish animated feature film “Vitello” by Dorte Bengtsson at Gors, Rēzekne. “Vitello” is based on the popular children’s books by Kim Fupz Aakeson and Niels Bo Bojesen and it was showed in original language with synchronised translation in Latvian.
