OpenCoesione at Glocal, the journalism festival of Varesenews

In Varese, the eleventh edition of Glocal, the digital journalism festival that observes the world from the local perspective, is scheduled from 10th to 12th November.

For the first time OpenCoesione is taking part in the festival as the protagonist of two of the 40 meetings scheduled over three days that will involve more than 110 speakers. The focus of the festival is related to the importance of the territories and the central topic of the debate is related to the "limits". "In recent decades we were used to continuous growth. In journalism we have experienced radical transformations, but even this profession has found new outlets, just think of the many new activities and figures" explains the creator and director of Glocal, Marco Giovannelli.

All the meetings and workshops proposed by Glocal, including those carried out in collaboration with OpenCoesione, give journalists the opportunity to obtain credits for continuing professional training (CVT). You can register on www.formazionegiornalisti.it
