Where Learning Happens Through Connection

Our community-driven approach transforms traditional journalism education. Instead of sitting through lectures, you'll work alongside peers, share insights, and build stories together. This isn't just about acquiring skills – it's about developing the collaborative mindset that modern newsrooms demand.

  • Peer Review Circles

    Weekly sessions where participants share work, provide constructive feedback, and refine their reporting together. Each circle includes 6-8 members with diverse backgrounds.

  • Collaborative Research Teams

    Multi-week investigations where teams of 3-4 researchers tackle complex stories, sharing resources and expertise to produce comprehensive reports.

  • Cross-Mentorship Network

    Everyone teaches, everyone learns. Experienced participants guide newcomers while gaining fresh perspectives on their own work.
