This two week programme is designed to equip students with the skills and know-how to critically challenge and interpret information, data and news in order to arrive at a balanced view on global ‘big issues’. The course will also teach students how best to communicate creatively their own ideas and opinions to the widest target audience.
This course is perfect for curious, well-informed students who think independently yet enjoy working collaboratively in dynamic teams. Students will harness technical skills in creating video, audio and text output to bring political, cultural and social discussion to the table.
Topics include:
- Breaking Text: Focusing on print media and article writing, this project replicates the hustle and bustle of a newsroom through a series of investigative journalism assignments.

Additionally, students will act as ‘reporters’ at the Think Global debates.
- Breaking Sound: Expanding the focus to issues within the 21st-century media landscape, this project involves collaboration to create a podcast focusing on global current affairs.
