German Bundestag's Call for Applications: Youth Media Workshop, Courtesy of MdB Rudolph
In November 2025, Berlin will host the annual Youth Media Workshop, an exciting event aimed at empowering young voices in media related to parliamentary and European affairs. Organised by the German Bundestag, the Federal Agency for Civic Education, and the Youth Press Association, this workshop offers a unique opportunity for young journalists to critically engage with the political landscape.
The workshop, which takes place from November 2nd to 8th, 2025, invites participants to set their own content priorities based on their interests, creating a journalistic online dossier that could include text, audio, video, or social media contributions. This diverse programme promises an engaging and varied exploration of the media and political daily life in Berlin.
Participants will have the chance to meet with members of parliament, discuss with members of various committees, and critically engage with parliamentary proceedings. The event is under the patronage of the Vice-President of the Bundestag, Josephine Ortleb, further emphasising its significance.
The theme for the 2025 workshop is "Your Present, Our Future - Shaping Intergenerational Justice?" This focus encourages participants to delve into the intricacies of intergenerational justice and its impact on contemporary society.
Thorsten Rudolph, a member of the German Bundestag, is encouraging young people from his constituency to apply for the workshop. Applications can be submitted online at [https://jugendpresse.de/projekte/bundestag](https://jugendpresse.de/projekte/bundestag) until August 10, 2025.
For young journalists interested in EU affairs, the European Commission's Youth4Regions programme offers a similar opportunity. In October 2025, its participants will travel to Brussels for a week-long workshop, focusing on the EU and Cohesion Policy's impact in their regions. This programme is open to young people aged 18 to 30 with a journalistic background or up to two years of experience, from EU Member States, neighbouring, and candidate countries. Applications for Youth4Regions are accepted online until 7 July 2025.
For precise details on the Youth Media Workshop at the German Bundestag in 2025, including its theme and application procedure for young people from particular constituencies, direct inquiry with the Bundestag's official youth or media engagement channels is advised, as current search results do not specify this information.
