Getting radical and progressive ideas across to a wide audience is more important than ever. What are the skills we need to create articles, videos and podcasts that engage people and help build our movement?

The Left Berlin invites you to the Left Journalism Day School. This is your chance to develop practical skills in journalism in a fun and relaxed environment. Whether you are already involved in a left media project, or have never written an article before, this event is for you.

All sessions are hands-on and will be led by journalists and media professionals. Working in small groups or on our own, we will aim to produce articles, videos and podcasts that can actually be published on The Left Berlin or elsewhere.

The Day School is also intended to be a chance for people interested in left journalism – whether as part of the editorial collective of The Left Berlin, or another project – to get to know each other. Lunch will be provided and there will be plenty of time for breaks.
