Pitches (Solutions Stories, Central/Eastern Europe)

Transitions is announcing a call for microgrants for journalists interested in developing solutions stories. In addition to financial support, we are also offering mentoring during the entire production of the article to achieve the highest possible quality. The grants are for stories from Central and Eastern Europe.

Story pitches must be submitted in English and you are supposed to prepare the article in English for an international audiences. But don’t worry, your English doesn’t have to be perfect! We will provide you with an English editor and, if necessary, we can arrange mentoring in your native language. The stories will be published in the Transitions Magazine. However, you are also free to publish the article in your own publication in your native language.
