Young Editorial Board
About the Programme
Young Editorial Board is an initiative of the Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation aimed at students interested in journalism, culture and Polish-German relations. The programme creates a space for developing journalistic skills and deepening knowledge about Polish-German cooperation.
Participants take part in workshops led by experienced journalists. The classes focus on creating event coverage, conducting interviews and preparing engaging content for social media.
Young editors visit Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation projects across Poland. They work on their own texts, interviews and reviews. An important element of the programme is mentoring and meetings at media editorial offices in Poland and Germany.
The programme lasts approximately one year. It concludes with the Young Editorial Board’s participation in the Polish-German Forum and the preparation of coverage from the discussions and meetings taking place during this event.
