Newcastle
Join us for three days of workshops, panel discussions and practical advice in partnership with the Civic Journalism Lab at Newcastle University. You’ll be able to develop your skills and make connections.
We’d love to see you for three days, but you’re welcome to join us for a single day or just a session — we know that deadlines won’t wait. Every day will finish with a social, so you can continue discussions with your peers.
Please note we’ll be moving round the city: check you have the right venue for your session
