Event Report: The Role of Humanitarian Organisations in Disasters and Emergencies
Published 21/11/2025
On 20 November 2025, the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Primorska hosted the first awareness-raising event within the Erasmus+ project Disaster Journalism: Preventing the News from Turning into a Disaster, led by Selçuk University (Türkiye).

The event focused on the essential role humanitarian organisations play when natural disasters, conflicts, or other emergencies strike. Our guest speaker, Mojca Cenčič from the Red Cross of Slovenia, presented the organisation’s key activities, the challenges it faces, and its crucial role both in immediate crisis response and in long-term recovery efforts.

Introductory presentations were delivered by Karmen Medica and Lia Lola V. Kotnik from the Department of Media Studies (UP FHŠ), who discussed the project and the crucial local, regional, national, and international institutional actors involved in disaster management.

We look forward to continuing the series with our upcoming awareness-raisingevents.
