The Boris Nemtsov Foundation for Freedom annually holds the Summer School of Journalism for promising young journalists, bloggers and researchers.
The Summer School is a fully-funded program for participants who get enrolled through a highly competitive selection process. The application period usually starts in early March. We encourage young journalists, bloggers and researchers from around the world to apply. All applicants must be fluent in Russian.
From 2018 to 2022, the school was held in Prague at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University. In 2023 the School was held in Bochum, Germany.
The maximum number of participants is 30.
