The project Newsroom Europe was designed to strengthen young people’s connection to the European Union by making European politics more tangible, accessible and relevant to their everyday lives. We wanted to move beyond abstract discussions about “Brussels” and instead give participants first-hand insight into how European decision-making actually works and who the people behind these processes are. A central objective was to equip young participants from Denmark, Poland and Germany with the skills to report critically and responsibly on European affairs. Through workshops, study visits and editorial collaboration, they were trained to analyse political developments, ask informed questions and translate complex EU processes into understandable and engaging content for their peers. In this way, the project combined political education with practical media experience. Another key objective was to foster a stronger sense of European awareness and shared responsibility. By bringing together young people from three different EU member states, we created a space for cross-border dialogue and exchange. Participants were encouraged to compare perspectives, challenge assumptions and reflect on how European decisions affect societies differently. This transnational newsroom setting not only strengthened their intercultural competence but also promoted mutual understanding and respect. The project also aimed to contribute to a more inclusive and youth-oriented European public sphere. By supporting participants in producing peer-to-peer media content, we sought to bridge the gap between European institutions and young citizens. The intention was not only to inform, but to empower: to show participants that they can actively engage with European politics, ask critical questions and become multipliers in their own communities. All of the above objectives were successfully addressed during the implementation of the project. Participants strengthened their knowledge of EU structures, improved their media competences and developed a stronger sense of belonging within a European context. At the same time, they grew into confident multipliers who are able to communicate European issues critically, constructively and accessibly within their own communities.
