FISU Young Reporters Programme
The FISU YRP is an education programme to provide young sports journalists with a unique training experience during FISU’s major multi-sport events, the summer and winter World University Games. While this is an education programme, it is organised and conducted by the FISU Media department, under the Media and Communication Committee, and in partnership with the International Sports Press Association (AIPS).
The next FISU YRP is in association with the World University Winter Games scheduled for 13-23 Jan 2025 in Torino, Italy.
