‘Going on Assignment in Prague’
We hosted our traditional summer school in July, during which 12 participants from the U.S., Germany, Bosnia, Türkiye and the Czech Republic learned what it takes to be a foreign correspondent.
| From 12-27 July, they joined our “Going on Assignment” course, held once again in cooperation with our good friends at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK), which sent a contingent of students over to Prague to take part. Two participants’ features have already been published on Transitions; others are in progress and will be published on our site or back in Tennessee. The Prague experience combined practical training, professional networking, and cultural context – exactly what aspiring foreign correspondents need. We’re now opening applications for July 2026.
