Treetop Travel Journalism runs monthly media and journalism courses in Berlin. We work together with our journalism interns to create a cultural magazine guide to the city. Join us to write, edit and design a professional publication, which is then published online and printed.
If you’re a student coming towards the end of university you can probably relate to the headache of wondering what comes next. Around 200,000 humanities students graduate from UK universities alone each year. Many will be vying for the same creative jobs as hundreds of applications for the same positions flood the market.

journalism workshops with our local mentor
