The EBU and its Italian Member Rai will showcase its new Eurovision SkillsXchange at Prix Italia. The purpose of the SkillsXchange Programme is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, know-how, and ideas between young professionals working within EBU Member Broadcasting Organisations.
The 8 multimedia journalists, digital producers and social media experts chosen for the SkillsXchange programme will come together at the Prix Italia to develop strategic recommendations to improve the event's online and social media presence. These will also be shared later on with all EBU Members.
Eurovision Media Online received 38 applications from EBU Members. The 8 selected candidates include colleagues from RTVSLO Slovenia, DW Germany, VRT Belgium, RTBF Belgium, RTE Ireland, NRK Norway, SR Sweden and EER Estonia. They work as multimedia journalists, digital and video producers, online creatives, social media experts and digital storytellers.
The 8 SkillsXchangers will now come together at the Rai-Prix Italia in Turin between 19 and 24 September to work on producing innovative ways to tell stories around the event which will involve producing web and mobile content, as well as innovating with blogs, social and visual networks.
The team will also produce strategic recommendations to improve the event’s online and social media presence. Their findings, recommendations and experience will be shared with the wider EBU Membership.
