A total of 12 Ukrainian journalists can join the fellowship program. All travel, accommodation, and catering costs during the study tours will be covered. We are ready to provide an official invitation for male journalists in Ukraine but cannot guarantee that the permit to leave the country will be issued.
Working language: English.
The goal of these visits is to foster and strengthen lasting connections between Western European and Ukrainian media, while also enhancing the comprehension of the social and political dynamics within the respective countries.
Selected fellows will visit independent and public editorial offices, and meet with representatives of civil society, EU- institutions and experts. In addition, networking events with facilitated speed-datings, working sessions or discussions will be organised in each city.
The first group of Ukrainian journalists embarked on their European journey in May 2023. For many, it was the first time abroad since the full-scale invasion. Emotional, challenging and enriching, the first visit left many impressions. But it also ignited more interest to discover.
The much-anticipated second part of the journey in September 2023 took the team through four lesser known but no less exciting cities. The rapidly changing urban landscapes prompted a direct comparison between the national media landscapes. It also allowed to view Ukrainian journalism from the outside perspective and see its place within the broader European context.
I learned the strong and weak sides of the Russian-Ukraine war coverage in different EU media. I also discovered how EU officials see the current and future cooperation with Ukraine and how they help Ukraine. Sometimes it was inspiring and occasionally disappointing. But it is great that, after all, I understood many essential things.
