Global GROOVE is a workshop programme hosted by GROOVE Magazine in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut aimed at aspiring music journalists from all over the world. Applications are open until August 3rd. Today, GROOVE announces the individual workshops.
After an informal get-together and introductory round hosted by the organisers Laura Aha and Kristoffer Cornils on the 13th of August, the following ten workshops will take place between 1 and 3 pm CET via Adobe Connect.
08/17: “Digital Journalism” (Alexis Waltz)

After the workshops are concluded, the participants will develop a written, in-depth feature on their respective local scene. This will be compensated by the Goethe-Institut with a one-time payment of € 500 per participant.
Please note that this offer is explicitly targeted at people whose native language is not German. Unfortunately, we thus cannot accept applications from the predominantly German-speaking countries, namely Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
