February 2025 will mark the third year of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Since February 2022, Ukrainian journalists have worked around the clock with great courage and unquenchable energy to cover the developments and consequences of the war to ensure that the rest of the world knows what is happening.
As a continuation of the Nordic Journalist Centre’s (NJC) commitment to arrange midcareer training for journalists in Ukraine, we can now offer our Ukrainian colleagues a study visit to Denmark in February 2025, where they can exchange experiences and methods and gain new inspiration through meetings with journalists in Denmark. Our local Ukrainian partner in this project is Institute for Regional Media and Information (IRMI Ukraine).
The study trip focuses on independent journalism, press ethics, sustainable business models and digital transformation with visits to media, educational institutions etc. There will also be an opportunity to meet Danish politicians in the Danish parliament.
Practical information
The study trip will take place from 16-22 February 2025. Applicants must be professional journalists with at least five years of work experience. The Nordic Journalist Centre will cover the journey from Lviv to Denmark and back as well as hotel and partial catering in Denmark. The participants must cover their own transport from Lviv and back as well as a few meals in Copenhagen.
If you are interested to participate, please submit this application form no later than 20 December 2024, 17:00 Ukrainian time.
