#EUinMyRegion Media Trips is a training program for local and regional journalists and content creators in the European Union. Graduates will gain a deeper understanding of EU policies, particularly cohesion policy, with the opportunity to network with fellow journalists from other EU countries and regions.

The program includes a two-day trip to Brussels with information sessions on EU institutions, structure, and procedures; EU cohesion policy: how the EU invests in regions and cities across Europe; current EU issues; how the EU deals with fraud and mismanagement of funds; EU funding opportunities; data analysis tools for journalists; meetings with Commission experts for individual countries; and visits to the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council of the European Union.

The programme includes four study trips between October 2025 and January 2026. Each trip session will welcome around 30 journalists from EU Member States to Brussels.

The European Commission will cover the travel, accommodation and subsistence costs of journalists participating in the programme.

The deadline for applications is July 31, 2025. All information is on the Program website
