Nordic Journalist Center and IRMI offer Ukrainian journalists a study trip to Denmark

February 2025 will mark the third anniversary of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Since February 2022, Ukrainian journalists have been working around the clock with great courage and inexhaustible energy to cover the events and consequences of the war so that the rest of the world knows what is happening in the country.

As part of the Nordic Journalist Center’s ongoing support for professional training for journalists in Ukraine, we are offering our Ukrainian colleagues a study trip to Denmark in February 2025, during which they will be able to exchange experiences and methodologies, as well as gain new inspiration through meetings with Danish journalists. The Ukrainian partner in this project is the Institute for Regional Media and Information (IRMI, Ukraine).

The study tour will focus on the development of independent journalism, journalistic ethics, sustainable business models, and digital transformation with visits to media outlets, educational institutions, etc. There will also be an opportunity to meet Danish politicians in the Danish Parliament.

Practical information

The study tour will take place from February 16 to 22, 2025. Applicants must be professional journalists with at least five years of work experience.
