The European Commission has opened applications for the 10th edition of\u00a0Youth4Regions<\/a>, its flagship programme designed to support aspiring journalists.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 10 to 16 October 2026, selected participants will spend a week in Brussels, to benefit from expert-led training, hands-on newsroom experience and exclusive access to both EU institutions and leading media organisations. Applications can be submitted until 7 July 2026 on the programme’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s programme welcomes submissions across four formats: written feature journalism, video journalism, audio journalism, and photojournalism. Youth4Regions is open to students and junior journalists from EU Member States, neighbouring countries, and candidate countries, offering a unique opportunity to develop skills, build professional networks, and gain first-hand insight into EU affairs reporting. 300 young reporters have so far benefitted from such support since the launch of the programme, in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants will also have the chance to compete for the prestigious Megalizzi \u2013 Niedzielski Prize<\/a>, honouring exceptional young journalists. It will be awarded on 14 October 2026. Winners will also be appointed Cohesion Correspondents 2027 and be sent on a two-week field mission, reporting from the ground on cohesion policy projects and their impact on people\u2019s lives across EU Member States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
