Participants will benefit from an intensive three-day program, during which they will attend workshops on the work of a modern international multimedia news agency, the creation of video and visual content and its role in content distribution and fact-checking. In addition to the varied business program, journalists will get acquainted with the cultural life of Moscow.
The participants have already shared their impressions of the program and their stay in Russia.
"The project organized by our hosts in Russia is of exceptional importance. First of all, today we had the opportunity to hear a lot of useful advice, which will be useful to us in the world of journalism. Egor's lecture about video production is of great importance, because he talks about today and how young people analyze themselves on social networks. Also, the editorial office of Sputnik Television is outstanding, the technology is great, as well as the space to work. What I am especially looking forward to is the meeting with Mrs. Zakharova and the mini-briefing with her. I am grateful to the hosts and I can't wait for the upcoming activities! You guys are awesome," said Stasa Koprivica, from portal IN4S.

"I am participating in the Sputnik New Generation 2023 program representing Opera Mundi, which is an independent site in Brazil, which looks at Latin America and Global South. In addition to knowing Moscow, which for me is being incredible because I did not know the Russian capital, the experience of knowing more about Sputnik, which is an agency that we use as a source of information, its history, newsroom and much more, the experience is even better to be able to meet other journalists in the world. For me, a very important part of the program is this exchange of experiences with colleagues in the profession who play different forms of journalism. With the SputnikPro program I was able to have this knowledge and still know more about this agency that is in several countries. An unforgettable experience," shared her feelings Fernanda Oliveira Forgerini, Opera Mundi.
"The experience of visiting Sputnik news agency and radio was something I'm so glad I didn't miss. Honestly, I didn't think Sputnik was as big as it is and I'm so pleased that had to chance for being here. I have to point out that the behavior of the hosts is very hearty and nice and although the weather and Moscow is kind of grey, but people in here are very colorful," said Zeynab Rajaee, Mehr News Agency.
