Welcome to the ISMJ – International School of Multimedia Journalism
The ISMJ – International School of Multimedia Journalism has been in existence since 2015 and offers the participating journalism students a unique opportunity to deal with current issues in an intercultural setting and to expand and deepen their own knowledge of multimedia journalism.
It is a joint program that networks Austrian and Ukrainian journalism students and promotes an understanding of international media systems and the media landscape in both countries. It was established after the annexation of Crimea and the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in 2014. The program aims to foster international cooperation and mutual understanding by training young journalists in multimedia journalism while dealing with various current topics.
The International School of Multimedia Journalism is run by the Journalism & Media Management study programs at FHWien der WKW, the Ukrainian Catholic University Lviv and the OeAD Cooperation Office in Lviv. In the second year of its existence, two further project partners joined the ISMJ: the Danish School of Media and Journalism (DMJX) and the Georgian Institute of Public Affairs (GIPA).
