The launch of the Young Journalist School is planned at the National Centre RUSSIA this year
The National Centre RUSSIA plans to launch the Young Journalist School in 2025. Participants in the project will be young people from all over the country. They will learn the basics of journalism, gain experience from professionals, and meet like-minded peers. This was announced by Anastasia Zvyagina, Deputy General Director of the National Centre RUSSIA, during the opening of the "Space of Opportunities" venue.
On May 15, the National Centre RUSSIA opened a modern educational cultural venue called "Space of Opportunities," designed for children and youth. In the new location, young visitors to the National Centre RUSSIA will explore the diversity of media, learn to interact with them, develop their creative potential, and create content useful for the country and the people. The workshop brought together professional studios for recording TV and radio broadcasts, a photo studio, and other locations at the National Centre RUSSIA. In this new space, schoolchildren are already trying themselves as hosts, bloggers, and reporters.
The knowledge gained will allow young journalists to cover the activities of the National Centre RUSSIA both in Moscow and in their home regions, where branches of the National Centre RUSSIA will be opened. Five of these branches will begin operating before the end of 2025.
"We have agreed that a Young Journalist School may open. Young people from all over the country will come to the National Centre RUSSIA. They will communicate with top professionals, federal correspondents, radio hosts, and chief editors. The young journalists will leave us as real professionals, which we need. The National Centre is opening branches, five of which will launch before the end of the year. We really need masters of their craft who will work in the regions and know how to create news and engaging content," said Anastasia Zvyagina.
The opening ceremony and a tour of the new space were attended by Sergei Novikov, Head of the Presidential Directorate for Social Projects of the Russian Federation, Grigory Gurov, Head of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh), Hero of Russia, participant of the programme "Time of Heroes," Chairman of the Board of the Movement of the First Artur Orlov, Anastasia Zvyagina, Deputy Director General of the National Centre RUSSIA, and members of the Movement of the First.
The creation of the venue was a joint effort by the country’s largest public organisations: the Movement of the First, Rosmolodezh, the Presidential platform "Russia — Land of Opportunity," Russian society Znanie, and the National Centre RUSSIA.
