What We Deliver

Our programmes use a range of tested formats designed to build real skills, create meaningful connections and produce tangible outputs.

Youth Exchanges

Cross-border programmes (Erasmus+ funded) where young people collaborate on media projects, co-create content and develop intercultural competences. Typically 5–10 days.

Training Courses

Intensive workshops on journalism, content creation, AI in media, media entrepreneurship and media literacy. Combine expert-led sessions with hands-on practice.

Event Newsrooms

Editorial teams deployed at conferences, summits and festivals. Young journalists produce real-time, professional-quality multimedia coverage under mentorship.

Seminars & Policy Forums

Knowledge-sharing events and policy discussions where young media makers engage directly with European decision-makers and media professionals.

Online Programmes

Digital training modules, webinars and remote collaboration opportunities — including journalism, media ethics, AI and media entrepreneurship courses.

Publications & Productions

Reports, toolkits, documentaries, podcast series and editorial productions created by and for young media makers.

Thematic Areas

Our projects address the issues that matter most to young media makers and to the future of European democracy. These themes run across all our formats and partnerships.

Media Literacy

Building critical thinking and the ability to navigate an increasingly complex information environment.

Press Freedom & Media Independence

Defending the right to report freely and supporting young journalists in contexts where media faces pressure.

Democratic Participation

Empowering young people to take active part in civic life and engage with European decision-making.

Climate & Sustainability

Solutions-oriented and environmental journalism that equips young people to report responsibly on the climate crisis.

Digital Skills & AI

Training in digital storytelling, media entrepreneurship and the responsible use of artificial intelligence in media.

Disinformation & Fact-checking

Counter-disinformation campaigns, media justice and critical media evaluation.

Constructive Journalism

Solutions-focused, ethical reporting that informs and inspires rather than just exposing problems.

Inclusion & Equal Access

Reaching underrepresented young people and ensuring equitable participation across diverse backgrounds.
