The journalists were split up into 16 different workshops, where they produced radio interviews, online and print magazines, photo reports and TV shows.
The price of food, immigration, European elections and the freedom of the press were among the topics considered.

She explained that "we want to show that EP work is more than just politicians' work, but involves lots of other people – including the cleaning-lady!"
