Take your journalism skills to the next level with the Youth4Regions programme
The European Commission is now accepting applications for the 9th edition of Youth4Regions, its programme for aspiring journalists. In October 2025, selected participants will spend a week in Brussels, where they will receive hands-on training, expert mentoring, and newsroom experience, and participate in exclusive visits to EU institutions and media organizations. This year, applications are open in three categories – general journalism, photojournalism, and video journalism – for students and young journalists from EU member Ssates, neighbouring countries, and candidate countries.
Since its launch in 2017, Youth4Regions has helped over 250 young reporters sharpen their craft, expand their networks, and gain invaluable insights into the world of EU journalism. Applications close on 7 July 2025, and the Commission covers all programme costs. Applications may be submitted on the programme's website.
Finally, participants will also have the chance to compete for the prestigious Megalizzi – Niedzielski Prize, which honours exceptional young journalists and will be awarded on 14 October 2025.
