Professor Raj Chari met this year’s participants on campus in the Museum Building for a two-hour discussion that covered the values of the EU Presidency, the role of the EU in international conflict and the role of the media (including social media) in shaping opinions. Participants also voiced their opinions on social media and AI and the ways in which the EU should or should not regulate these ever-evolving aspects of modern life.
The Newsroom Europe project trains young Europeans from three EU member states (in 2026, this is Germany, Cyprus and Ireland) in critical and open-minded media reporting and in the workings of European decision-making. Participants report on European affairs in an established news blog, focusing on the priorities of the EU Council Presidency of the respective year.
This year, the organisers of the project are the European Academy Berlin, the Goethe-Institut Nicosia (Cyprus), the European Movement Ireland and their media partner Treffpunkt Europa.
