October 7 – 11, 2024 – Three of our team members – Meenal Thakur and Lucie Černá from our SoJo Team and Blanka Doležalová, our financial manager, wrapped up an incredible week traveling through Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm alongside 30 fellow editors and journalists from 15 countries, primarily from the Balkans region.
This study tour, organised by the Constructive Institute, as part of the larger SoJo Europe program, led by Transitions, was a journey of learning, exchange, and inspiration – all centered around constructive journalism as a catalyst for positive change in Scandinavia and how media practitioners in Central and Eastern Europe can draw inspiration from their Scandinavian counterparts.
The group visited key locations including a journalism conference at sea between Copenhagen and Oslo, the Nobel Peace Center, Rystad Energy, and NRK in Oslo; SVT and Gapminder in Stockholm; and Børsen, Politiken, and Zetland in Copenhagen.
The knowledge shared and connections made will continue to inspire us as we strive to reshape journalism for the better.
