Children and young people don't want to be instructed but challenged. My journalistic academies for young people are tailored for special occasions. They connect a basic understanding of journalistic work with result-oriented trying.
There are planners, there are doers, and there are spotlight hogs.
But often it is the silent observer who is able to bring out the true core.
The concept of YoungReporters is to be understood as a workshop programme that accompanies a music project or music festival. The title combines youth of the participants with reportage, the supreme discipline in journalism. The project is all about observing, feeling, discovering and exploring music and its development process.
