Boris Nemtsov Summer School of Journalism

Starting from 2018, the Nemtsov Foundation has been hosting the yearly Summer Media School, aimed at nurturing promising young journalists, bloggers, science communicators, and scholars worldwide. Their partners have included the Faculty of Arts at Charles University (Prague, Czech Republic) and the University Alliance Ruhr (Germany).

The Summer School offers a transformative experience, shaping perspectives, careers, and lives. It's not just a brief seminar or workshop; rather, it spans two weeks, featuring leading journalists, investigators, accomplished media managers, media scholars, and skilled filmmakers. Participation in the Summer School is entirely cost-free.

Candidates must be proficient in Russian and demonstrate an English language proficiency level of at least B2. This year’s program features the participation of German students from the Faculty of Journalism at the Dortmund Technical University.
