Young Journalists Programme

What is PERSPECTIVES2? It is the label for young, constructive and multi-perspective journalism! Our aim is to amplify voices of young people and explore topics that are relevant and interesting to them. A hallmark of the project is its transnational-by-default approach—most stories are developed collaboratively with at least two newsrooms to ensure diverse perspectives and cross-border relevance. This year, our focus is on non-metropolitan areas and we are going to be especially looking for stories connected to experiences and challenges of young people living outside of big cities.
