In the full-week version of this modular workshop, participants will produce a written, photographic or video report on a topic of their choice. They will learn the basics of quality journalism, storytelling, and how to navigate a globalized media world shaped by the internet, social media and artificial intelligence through practical examples from an industry insider. You can find the individual modules below.

 

Participants will work with Sebastian Sele, a multimedia storyteller who publishes with major publications ranging from "The New York Times", "VICE" and "Bloomberg Businessweek" to the Swiss daily "Neue Zürcher Zeitung"; in his reporting he focuses on social issues of global relevance: sea rescue at sea in the Mediterranean, tourism in war-torn Syria, migration to the United States, assassinations of environmentalists in Colombia, and so on.

 

Sebastian has worked as editor-in-chief of VICE's Zurich office, as a content strategist at WIRZ Communications, and completed the one-year visual journalism program at the International Center of Photography in New York City.
