With the assis­tance of an expe­ri­enced edi­to­r­i­al board and train­ers, cou­ple with prac­tice through sev­er­al work­shops and tuto­ri­als, you will write arti­cles in Eng­lish and cre­ate pho­to sto­ries, as well as use new media (such as Stori­fy, Periscope or Twit­ter). In small inter­na­tion­al teams, you will research var­i­ous top­ics regard­ing the par­lia­men­tary elec­tion and the cur­rent sit­u­a­tion of civ­il soci­ety and human rights in Belarus.
