Going on Assignment in Prague July 2027

Full information, https://toleducation.org/courses/goa2027/ Report a real story. Train with real correspondents. Leave with a byline. 

Going on Assignment in Prague is a 15-day, hands-on foreign correspondence program in the Czech capital. You'll train under working journalists from the Financial Times, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), and Czech Television, then report, write, and file two original stories on the ground. Hosted by Transitions, which has trained 14,900+ journalists since 1999. Built for aspiring journalists, media/comms students, and anyone drawn to international reporting or advocacy storytelling.

Why students apply:

  • A real portfolio, not just notes. Leave with two original stories — a print/web feature or photo essay, plus a video or audio piece — with your byline. Standout work gets published in Transitions magazine.
  • Faculty who do the job, not just teach it: correspondents and editors from the Financial Times, RFE/RL, Czech Television, Respekt, and Seznam.cz.
  • 1-on-1 editorial feedback on every draft before you file — the coaching most people don't get until their first newsroom job.
  • Behind-the-scenes newsroom access: guided visits to RFE/RL and Seznam.cz headquarters.
  • Outcomes that speak for themselves: one alum went from student journalist to Oxford — now the Financial Times' Andes correspondent. Past participants have come from 40+ universities, including Boston University, George Washington, Northeastern, Howard, and Temple.
  • Optional add-on: extend your trip anywhere in Central/Eastern Europe, the Baltics, or the Balkans after the course, with a local fixer arranged for you.
