I am Zeynep, a Turkish designer and aspiring journalist with a degree in Fine Arts and Design. I focus on visual storytelling that supports journalism and international dialogue.

I am a Georgian law graduate based in Tbilisi. Having studied in Estonia, Latvia and Turkey, I am passionate about travelling, history and literature. I express myself through writing, art and music. I write about democracy, Georgian identity, Europe’s cultural diversity, and more - as we say in Georgia, the media is the light that must stay on.

I am particularly interested in the intersection of (social) media, politics and culture. A recent graduate of the MSc International Relations at the London School of Economics, I seek to write about issues that Europe’s youth face in these sectors. With film production being a hobby of mine, I want to contribute to the Pool of Journalists in various forms. Other than that, I am passionate about cooking and football club Eintracht Frankfurt.

I’m Nailah, and, like an old oak tree, my roots have spread across Europe. In storytelling, I find a way to unite, confront deep fears, and nurture new dreams. Writing has become both a refuge and a battlefield, where I inch closer to defining its undeniable power.

I move between the worlds of communication and politics. As an EU youth delegate from a region facing brain drain, I'm passionate about amplifying the voices of invisible rural youth. My mission is to connect young people from small towns with opportunities that shape Europe's future.

Where there is a footprint, there was once a piece of soil stepped on by thousands, but only one who will be remembered. I am Marcos, a 19-year-old Spanish student of History and Politics. When free, I enjoy reading and writing stories, swimming and wandering through the city. For me, journalism is about bringing to light all those stories that never left a footprint, but did step on the soil.
