⏳ Hurry up! The time is slipping away! ⏰ The application deadline for this year's #BIRNSummerSchool of Investigative Reporting is July 10: https://lnkd.in/dcu-u7Xj Find out more about our Summer School from its previous participants: 🔹 “The programme was intensive, every day brought something new, and by the end of the week it felt like we had known each other for years. Learning from experienced editors, receiving feedback from different mentors, and building lasting friendships made it an unforgettable experience.” – Tamara Kanuchova, Reporter, VSquare.org & The European Correspondent (Slovakia) 🔹 “What I loved most was that we were not just sitting in lectures. We worked with journalists from different countries, challenged each other’s ideas, travelled for field reporting, and turned our pitch into a published investigation. I still use what I learned during the Summer School, and I am still in touch with many of the people I met there.” — Patrik Galavits, Reporter, Direkt36 (Hungary)
