The European Commission’s DG REGIO has launched the call for applications for the 9th edition of the Youth4Regions programme. An initiative designed for journalism students and young professionals interested in EU affairs and regional development.

Selected participants will be invited to Brussels in October 2025 for a week of training, mentorship, and newsroom experience. The programme also includes exclusive visits to EU institutions and media organisations.

This year, applicants can choose from three different categories:

  • general journalism
  • photojournalism
  • video journalism.

The event is open to individuals aged 18 to 30 from EU Member States, as well as neighbouring, and candidate countries. All expenses will be fully covered by the European Commission.

Application Deadline: 7 July 2025
