Enriching journalism educations through collaboration between universities

The Crossborder Journalism Campus 2022-2024 offered two cohorts of students from three participating journalism educations to meet in Brussels to get to know each other, discuss and draft work plans for a journalistic investigation along the lines of the newest practices of cross-border collaborative journalism. After the in-person work days, students collaborated remotely under the guidance of senior journalism lecturers and ultimately published their articles in national media – while also passing their exams and graduating along the regulations of their respective universities.
