Event Description
Extensive interviews and meetings with publishers, editors and MEPs from across Europe make it clear that there is a strong demand for a different type of media cooperation and exchanges.
That is why the Institut d’études européennes at the Université libre de Bruxelles joins forces and “savoir-faire” with Fondation EURACTIV and the Press Club Brussels Europe to promote this skill-building project for media professionals: #Stars4Media (#Erasmus4Media).
Fondation EURACTIV is working with the European Parliament on a pilot project proposal which could launch the initiative in 2018. We would love you to be a part of it!
We believe that cross-border on-the-job exchanges are the most effective way to tackle the crisis of the European media sector. The basis of the concept is to exchange up-and-coming professionals across borders to develop innovative and sustainable solutions and share best practices with senior managers.
