The CMPF is delighted to organise the Summer School for Journalists and Media Practitioners. The aim of the School is to identify and shape a common culture and approach to freedom and pluralism of media across Europe, based on theoretical principles and best practices as well as the exchange of ideas and points of view.
Specific focal areas of the summer school are the governance of journalistic activity and the role of investigative journalism for media freedom and democratic dynamics.

The Summer School programme is structured around keynote presentations by distinguished experts in each area and interactive small group and roundtable discussions structured along the following key tracks:
- Legal Perspective of Freedom of Expression and the Media
- Plurality of Media Platforms and Business Models for the Media
- Investigative Journalism
