Photos from 2018 Master Class Media and the Arctic
TaRC’s first international Master Class Media and the Arctic was held at the University of Tampere, 26–30 November 2018. Participants included 35 students and 10 media professionals from at least 8 nationalities and many of TaRC’s partner universities. Three workgroups were led by a team of 12 great teachers, and the panel discussion at the end of the week offered perspectives of 4 more specialists in Arctic issues. Thank you for everyone involved!
The week was a great success, and TaRC is looking forward to organizing two more Master Classes in 2019–2020! Follow TaRC’s home pages and Twitter account for announcements of future events. Meanwhile, take a look at the photos below from the memorable week of the Media and the Arctic Master Class.
