Two weeks ago, we had the opportunity to participate in the Helsinki international hybrid conference on Emotions, Polarisation and Populism (HEPP6), held at the Faculty of Social Sciences of University of Helsinki and organised by the HEPPsinki research hub in collaboration with the PLEDGE Horizon Europe project.

In the panel "Governing Intimacy and Reproduction in Media and Communications", we presented project DARE and got very interesting feedback from scholars working in fields such as political communication, political science, psychology and journalism. We are grateful for this opportunity and look forward to enjoying this friendly, well-organised event in beautiful Helsinki again next year.
