Meet the Pool of European Young Journalists - Edition 2023

“I am from Spain, and I study Journalism and International Relations. I have always been interested in knowing in depth about the current affairs that surround our society.”

“My name is Amelia and I’m originally from Romania, though I have been living in Belgium for the past couple of years.”

“I’m a twenty-year-old from Limerick in Ireland. With a taste for travel and positive impact, I work and volunteer within the policy sphere where I advise and lobby platforms and institutions on a local, national and international level.”

“My name is Daria Yune and I grew up in a world of contrast. Quite literally. I was born in Mexico City and in 2019 I moved to the Netherlands to study LAS.”

“I was born in Naples, but I currently live and study in Rome. I have a degree in Political Science and I obtained a double master's degree with honours, in English, in International Relations in Rome and in Belgium. ”

“I am very versatile: I can write, film, take pictures, edit (both video and sound) and voice-over. Social and cultural subjects are my favourites: feminism, societal issues, documentaries, TV series...”

“For as long as I can remember I have always been volunteering for youth rights.”

“I love channeling ideas in several ways and cooperating in multicultural environments to make a sustainable global impact.”

“Participating in international projects since 18 made me explore the world.”

“Thanks to my volunteering in Romania with the European Solidarity Corps, I have developed new skills related to youth participation.”

“Right now, I’m starting a freelancing career and I’m excited to continue to give voice to young Europeans through the European Youth Portal.”

“Receiving the Megalizzi-Niedzielski Prize from the European Commission remains the biggest incentive for me to contribute to quality journalism in the EU.”

“In my opinion, writing is the form of an act that demonstrates your ability to illustrate data and create meaningful stories.”
