A weekend with a view

Look closely at what is happening.
Ilse Aichinger

Program

For three days, journalists will meet other knowledgeable mediators of information from different regions of the world in Innsbruck. In conversations with colleagues and other experts, visitors find out what is going on behind the scenes of the information on international events, which is often hastily and superficially conveyed, and can contribute.

Current social, political and cultural developments are the focus of the debates, from book presentations, exhibitions, doc-films and audio features. The Journalismusfest Innsbruck opens a window to the complex present in which we live.

Cross-border neighbourhoods

Cross-border regional cooperation is gaining importance within the EU whilst also facing new challenges in an age of growing nationalist tendencies. European Regions enable cooperation between neighbouring regions of EU member states sharing a border. The European Region Tyrol – South Tyrol – Trentino has leveraged this opportunity in diverse ways. How does the public perceive its accomplishments? How do you communicate effectively across borders? What role does the European Region play in media coverage? A look back that allows us to look ahead.
