Cross Border Journalism

Journalists from Kosovo, North Macedonia, Bulgaria and the Region of Macedonia attended Alexandroupoli from 25 to 29 September, in the framework of the training programme in cross-border journalism.

The project was supported by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom in cooperation with the Digital Communication Network Global and the Peace Journalism Lab of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Mindspark+ supported the planning and execution of the event.

More than 25 journalists had the opportunity to attend workshops by expert speakers. The topics of the sessions covered both skills development and an overview of new trends in the field of journalism. In addition to the training modules, participants formed teams to produce journalistic content on issues related to the region. For the implementation of the Projects the teams chose one of the three directions (a) port & energy, (b) culture & tourism (c) and entrepreneurship and met local representatives. At the same time, they had the opportunity to attend the inauguration of the collaborative space of the Light Hub of the Evros Chamber of Commerce and to conduct interviews with local institutions and experts.
