Rome Press Game

PREPARATION

The simulation will engage students in 40 hours of pre-conference didactic preparation and 40 hours of simulation and practical work – for a total of 80 hours.

In order to provide students with a proper Festival experience, and to make sure everyone's experience is of a certain quality, the Association organises a pre-conference preparation regiment:

• Access to online didactic material (Press Game guide, guide of the journalism tools, video tutorials);
• Preparation webinars (4 meetings in the month of February 2020);
• Access to the online forum to interact with tutors and other participants;
• Support staff for drafting articles.

All the participants are followed and assisted both during the pre-event period and during the conference itself by young journalists, translators, press office experts as well as by a specialized team of technicians (including cameramen) who take care of the preparation and creation of media products together with the participants that have the opportunity to see the whole production process of a video, a newscast or how to build a radio podcast.

In order to celebrate the 11th edition of the International Careers Festival, GnM has also organized a week of live pre-event training to be held from April, 17th to 23rd at the beautiful Costa Diadema cruise ship. The pre-event week is optional. For those wishing to join all the information is available in this section.
