• Work on the final media project

  Based on the results of the course, we will select active participants who will be invited to develop a final media project for one of the NPOs. Together with the support of experts, tutors and representatives of the NPOs themselves, you will have the opportunity to work on a real media case.

• Presentation of the final project and reflection of learning

  Students who complete the final case present it to customers, set common goals for finalizing and transferring the product to NPOs, and agree on common projects.

  All course participants reflect on their experiences with mentors and choose a further path of development.
