On Aug. 12, 2024, the official inauguration of the La Casa para el Periodismo Libre (The House for Free Journalism) was held at the National Museum of San José, in Costa Rica. La Casa is an initiative of DW Academie and its local partner in Costa Rica, the Institute for the Press and Freedom of Expression (IPLEX, for its acronym in Spanish).
“Under the roof of the House for Free Journalism, journalists in exile can access a space for coexistence and exchange; for training offers for professional growth and support in legal, psychosocial, economic and personal security; as well as journalism scholarships that include equipment for multimedia creation. The initiative will precisely group and adapt existing offers for media professionals at risk,” DW Academie reported.
