The Summer School was challenging in the best possible way. We didn’t just attend lectures—we worked together, developed a cross-border investigation, travelled for reporting, and published our story. I still use the AI skills I learned there, and I’m still in touch with many of the journalists I met. If you’re thinking about applying, do it. You’ll leave with new skills, new friends, and a network that stays with you long after the programme ends.
