This summer, the Charles University will host the Prague Summer School of Journalism: Cross-Platform Foreign Correspondence, 27 August – 10 September 2017.
This program is intended for Bachelor’s and Master’s degree students. The Summer School programme will be interesting for students of communication studies, international studies, political studies, sociological studies, and other related fields.
During a two-week simulation, guided by professionals and academics, students will report back to their home countries and to other international outlets on the Czech Republic and Central Europe, in a number of formats and across multiple platforms. Students will practice investigative, socio-culturally sensitive journalism, drawing on lessons and workshops delivered by scholars from Charles University, journalists, and other media professionals. They will have access to traditional and emerging technologies as they acquire hands-on experience in cross-platform journalism. The lecturers and professors will be readily available to answer questions, provide assistance, and consult with students about their projects. By the end of the summer school, students will have deepened their knowledge and skills as foreign correspondents, reporting in a variety of formats and across multiple platforms. Ultimately, they will enjoy the new, transformative experience of being cross-platform foreign correspondents.
After fulfilling all requirements, students will receive an official transcript of their record with 8 ECTS credits and a grade.
