From 28th July till 25th August 2007 the first European Summer Academy (ESA.tv) took place in Nuremberg.
Supported by the Robert-Bosch-Foundation, 20 joung Journalists from Public TV-Stations of 12 different countries met in Nuremberg to get trained and to learn, what’s about an independent Journalist in a democratic society.

The participants received intensive 4 weeks’ training from the UK based Thomson Foundation at ARD/ZDF’s centre of excellence – the Media Academy.  This partnership of the best technical resources and know-how, combined with years of experience in the field of broadcast training ensured the highest possible standards.

The participants gain insight into current developments, trends and successful television formats in different European television sectors with participants presenting their own country and their TV station to the rest of the group. They explored the role of the journalist in a democratic European society.

Those were four weeks of hard training, impressing excursions, shooting in a foreign country, great experiences and building a strong network between European TV-Journalists.
