New Skills for the Next Generation of Journalists
2017-1-HU01-KA203-036038
The NEWSREEL2 summer school with the title of "Shrinking Civic Space: New Media, Democracy & the Future of Journalism" will take place in Berlin between 25 and 30 September. During the 5-day programme students from all five partner countries are going to work together in the framework of cross-border collaborative projects. The host of the event is Hostwriter, our partner from the NGO sector.
On the first day, students will have some activities that will help them to get to know each other. From Tuesday they will take part some specific workshops connected to the professional fields of the NEWSREEL2 project. Four workshops will be held by the project partners: one on cross-border journalism, one on improving democratic sensibility (which is the central topic of the summer school), one on storytelling in social media and one on debunking disinformation.
These workshops will give them inputs in the mornings, and the lecturers will help them during the afternoons to create their own journalistic contents connected to three main topics: (1) composition of mainstream media coverage; (2) media consumption and trends; (3) trust in news and journalism. Students will work in international groups and present the results of their teamwork on Friday, in the framework of the multiplier event of the project. The full programme of the summer school is available here:
