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.

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.
