The German Bundestag, the Federal Agency for Civic Education, and the Youth Press Association Germany are inviting politically and media-interested young people aged 16 to 20 to participate in the Youth Media Workshop, taking place in Berlin from November 2 to 8, 2025.
This unique opportunity offers a one-week immersion into the world of political journalism and media production, providing hands-on experience within the Bundestag. The workshop aims to inspire young people from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives about political and journalistic topics.
To apply, interested candidates can visit the official application link at [https://jugendpresse.de/projekte/bundestag](https://jugendpresse.de/projekte/bundestag). The application period runs from July 14 to August 10, 2025.
Applicants are expected to submit a detailed application highlighting their motivation and experience in politics and media. While specific requirements may vary, previous workshops have involved submitting a motivation letter or application form, examples of prior work or media projects, and possibly participation in a selection interview or further assessment stages.
Selected participants will engage in practical media training, mentoring, and activities inside the Bundestag, as well as have conversations with members of parliament and committee members. They will also create their own content and compile a multimedia online dossier.
The Youth Media Workshop encourages dialogue between young people with different perspectives on political and journalistic topics, fostering an environment for critical engagement with current political processes. Experts on the respective focus topic will be available for discussions.
