European Youth Media in focus

Brussels, here I come!
The 270 participants for the European Youth Media Days have been selected. Among more than 2.500 applications, the most creative and qualified are being rewarded and will join the event. The people chosen will have the chance to go to Brussels to meet the President of the European Parliament, Hans-Gert Pöttering, the chairmen of the political groups in the European Parliament and other top politicians, journalists and experts. Together they will create media products supported by experts in TV, radio, newspapers and online media. The European Youth Media Days are an event hosted and organised by the European Parliament together with the European Youth Press.
By virtue of residence, I was considered eligible to attend the European Youth Media Days in the European capital. With a little luck, much persistence and a good deal of creative thinking, I passed the application process.

Flying off to the capital of Belgium (and of Europe) tomorrow. More on EYMD in the coming days.

  3. Hey, Abby!

    We HAVE been spoiled silly, haven't we? Sayang, sana mag-abot tayo sa Ateneo before I go back. It would be such a riot if we try and get them to appreciate our more cultural, critical approach. Hahahaha!
