The School of Journalism is a three-week intensive training program that includes lectures, workshops and discussions. Our speakers are among Russia’s leading journalists, social media and digital experts and filmmakers. In order to improve participants’ media projects, we discuss them at workshops together with your peers and mentors.
The Boris Nemtsov Summer School is held at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague. However, the ongoing pandemic makes it difficult to guarantee an in-person training program.
We are considering a number of options: an in-person training program in Prague or another city, a distance learning program or a combination of the two. We will make the final decision in early May.
Please note: The School will not be able to cover any costs related to obligatory Covid testing or/and vaccination.
