InternetLab School 2017 is focused on journalists. It is an initiative for those who are interested in telling stories about social, political, and cultural changes resulted from the development of technology and internet. Our purpose is to create a learning environment through the contact with examples of information society narratives.

The participants will be immersed in lectures, seminars and workshops that will happen in three moments: (i) before school, (ii) during school, and (iii) after school. During school, the activities will be face-to-face and intensive. Before and after school we will guide and advise the participants remotely.

Expert guests from various vehicles and enterprises will share their experiences with us. Our goal is to foster the dialogue between members of the school and the experts around a network through which stories and opportunities will be shared in the future.

This year’s activities are organized in three thematic axes: (1) understanding the struggles (Internet, politics, stories, trends); (2) telling stories (databases, leakings, fact-checking); and (3) considering the consequences (Big data, bubble effect, engaging readers, security).

We are still building our programme! You can access this link and follow our progress while we are working on it.

The participation in the InternetLab School 2017 is free of charge. The project has an aid fund to offer scholarships which will cover transportation and daily expenses in São Paulo. 20 journalists will be selected, ten from Brazil and ten from other Latin American countries.

You can access the complete call on this link. The new deadline is February 03, 2017.
