Last week, the German Embassy in Riga generously hosted alumni from our Northern European Programme for an inspiring evening of networking and professional exchange.

A cozy restaurant in Riga’s historic Old Town provided the perfect backdrop for a dinner with our Latvian alumni, representatives from the German Embassy and Deutsche Welle in Riga, as well as our two German fellows, who just wrapped up six weeks of reporting from Latvia.
One of the highlights was an engaging discussion led by Friedrich Schmidt, political correspondent for the FAZ. He provided valuable food for thought and thought-provoking insights that sparked a lively debate.

A heartfelt thank you to the German Embassy Riga for the invitation and for continuously fostering our international journalistic network!

📌 At the ZDF Hauptstadtstudio, Wulf Schmiese took us behind the scenes and shared his perspective during an engaging discussion on the dynamics of one year under Chancellor Merz's administration.
📌 We dove into cross-border policy with Embassy Counselor Ilse Rooze, discussing the Dutch approach to civil security. To top it off, Ambassador Hester Somsen graciously invited the cohort to the Dutch Embassy for drinks and an inspiring exchange on bilateral relations and shared challenges.
