Are you a journalist working in an EU region and wishing to learn more about Cohesion Policy, EU funds and policies?
- 21 November 2022
If so, you are invited to apply to the study programme #EUinMyRegion Media Trips launched today. The call is open for all local and regional journalists until 21 December 2022, 17:00 CET.
The programme includes online training sessions and a study visit to Brussels. You will learn about the EU institutions, their structures and procedures, Cohesion Policy, and how the EU handles fraud and mismanagement of funds. You will also have the opportunity to meet Commission country experts, visit EU funded projects and learn how to use the Commission’s data tools.
After the programme, you will have a better understanding of EU policies and in particular of Cohesion Policy. You will have established contacts with fellow journalists from other countries and regions, as well as contributed through your reporting to the development of the European project.
The first study trip to Brussels will take place on 2 and 3 February 2023. Two other trips will be organised in March and April. Around 40 journalists are expected to join each study trip.
The Commission will cover the travel and accommodation costs for participation in the programme.
