The project INSPIRE, aiming at using journalism as a powerful tool to enhance self-esteem, critical thinking, and civic and social engagement among young Europeans is coming to an end.

For months, in 6 European cities (Brussels, Barcelona, Cluj-Napoca, London, Mechelen and Tübingen), higher education institutions in journalism have created partnerships with non-formal educational programmes working with young people from disadvantaged areas and/or at risk of social exclusion.

The content has been broadcasted on six online media.

To celebrate all that has been achieved by the participants and share the outcomes of the six local teams of young media explorers, we are inviting you to the project closing ceremony in Brussels.

From 4pm to 5:30pm:

- Introductory speech by Jimmy Jamar,  Head of the European Commission Representation in Belgium

- Speech by Laura Englebert, Head of IHECS Academy (IHECS' lifelong learning department)

- Presentation of the project by the partners and young participants

- Overview of the main outcomes and deliverables

- Q&A
