Young Reporters Against Poverty is a chance for European journalism students to receive hands-on training about development, the EU and how to report live from the European Development Days.
A handpicked group of 33 finalists will be selected to attend this year's European Development Days, to be held in Brussels in early December 2010. After receiving hands-on training to assist them in their live reporting of the event, the finalists then have one week to perfect their best article/broadcast, to be presented to a jury of professional journalists and media professionals.
Three overall winners will then be selected for the press trip of a lifetime – to Africa.
How to enter
Journalism students can enter the competition by submitting a written article (1000 words max.) OR radio broadcast (MP3 format, 3 minutes max.) in their native language (one of EU 23 official languages) on the subject of 'EU development assistance' between 20 September and 29 October 2010. The focus should be "aid" (excluding humanitarian or emergency assistance) to support the economic, social and political development of developing countries.
To avoid disappointment, please do not leave your application until the last minute. There could be server problems related to the amount of activity on these last days.
