The "Newsroom Europe" project aimed to enhance the connection among the European public, particularly targeting the youth from Sweden, Spain, and Germany. By training young Europeans in critical and open-minded media reporting on the functioning of European decision-making, the project sought to foster a deeper understanding of the EU's intricate processes and its impact on citizens. The objectives of the project were multifaceted, focusing on improving accessibility and understanding of EU institutions, promoting European unity and identity among young people, facilitating cross-national and transnational communication, and strengthening European awareness and acceptance. The participants, aged 18 to 30, who were residents or nationals of one of the three participating countries, took part in a series of activities to achieve these goals. They formed tri-national editorial teams to cover the 2023 EU Council presidencies of Sweden and Spain and published their peer-reviewed articles on an established news blog. This initiative not only gave them practical experience in journalism, but also aimed to create a multinational perspective on the presidencies and their priorities, thus contributing to a more connected European discourse. The European Academy Berlin, in collaboration with partners such as the National Museums of World Culture in Sweden, the office of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom in Spain, and the media partner Treffpunkt Europa, organized high-quality analog and digital meetings, workshops, and seminars. These included a simulation game on EU decision-making, media training workshops, expert discussions, and cultural excursions, all tailored to the participants' interests in EU issues and journalism. The project's design was informed by the EU Youth Strategy 2020-27 and the goals set at the EU Youth Conference in Bulgaria in 2018, emphasizing the importance of involving young people in the EU's future. Newsroom Europe's activities promoted an understanding of EU rights and values at a critical time, addressing societal challenges such as the rise of populism and nationalism and the impact of Russia's war against Ukraine on European security and social cohesion. Through this project, participants developed a transnational perspective on the EU, engaging with complex decision-making processes and contributing to a broader European public sphere. The project's success in achieving its objectives was evident in the participants' increased knowledge of the EU, their strengthened sense of European identity, and their active contribution to a multi-perspective dialogue on European affairs. Looking forward, the intention is to continue the collaboration with project partners in future projects, motivated by the shared commitment to promoting debate on Europe's future and creating a network of young Europeans.
