The "Pulse of Europe – Media Trips to EU" project has completed the planned project activities and summarizes the results achieved during five and a half years of implementing the programme of media trips.
In the project team, they say that they are proud of the almost 650 media reports that the participants of the programme - journalists from domestic media - published in their media upon media trips realised. They wrote and reported on the best European practices in a large number of areas - from environmental protection, energy, innovation to the fight against corruption and human rights.
The programme of media trips covered 21 countries of the European Union. A total of 381 journalists from 55 newsrooms participated in it, and among them almost a fifth were young colleagues (under the age of 30).
Media reports were published in national, regional and local media. Through them, the domestic public is better acquainted with the best practices of European countries. In this way, the project contributed to a better understanding of the processes and necessary reforms implemented by those countries, which are important for Serbia, as well as to the rapprochement of Europe, of which Serbia is a part.
The media trips were organised by the project team, in cooperation with the EU Delegation and the embassies of the EU member states. The visits were organized in the period September 2021 - May 2026.
Discovering the "pulse of Europe" was a real pleasure with the dedicated and hard-working journalists whom the project team thanks for all their efforts during the journey across the Old Continent, from Portugal to Estonia and from Sweden to Greece. Below is the infographic:
