Yesterday, 19 November, was an eventful day for the participants of Media Connect. They started their day with a presentation activity. In groups of four, they explored their differences and similarities and then shared their findings with the rest of the group. Afterwards, they presented their journalistic productions, created as part of the training programme, to DG Near and the Media Connect team.
At the end of this session, they received their certificates of participation. The team also met with Matteo Salvai, Head of Media & Social Media at the European Commission’s Department for Regional and Urban Policy. During this meeting, the Media Connect members took part in a workshop where they learned how to identify the right person to contact in specific scenarios and how to effectively reach out to them. They concluded their day with a coffee talk with Matteo Salvai and his colleagues.
