Working languages: English, Russian

Topics to be discussed:
• Crossing academic borders: how to bring together academic and professional demands?

• Crossing ideological borders: how to contribute to depolarization within society and on a global level?
• Crossing social borders: how to represent all groups in the society?
• Crossing competence borders: how to teach hybrid competences?
• Crossing educational borders: how to adapt curricula to changing professional realities?
• Crossing professional borders: how to respond to non-professional journalism?
The conference will also feature a Russian-language section devoted to journalism education in Russia and CIS countries: its current state, challenges and trends.
