Welcome to SSEES!
SSEES Society is proud to welcome Francis Farrell to our society to talk about careers in journalism! Francis is a UCL SSEES alumnus and is currently a Senior Reporter for The Kyiv Independent. 📰
As the 2023 winner of the Prix Bayeux Calvados-Normandy for war correspondents in the young reporter category and a nominee for the 2024 European Press Prize, Francis will be sharing his experiences as a frontline journalist in Ukraine. 🇺🇦
The event will start off with Francis talking about his career and the situation on the ground in Ukraine before being followed by a Q&A so that you can learn more about the world of journalism and careers after SSEES. 🌍
Whilst SSEES Society is the departmental society of UCL SSEES, we are open to all members of the UCL community, especially those with an interest in and/or connection to Eastern Europe! Plus, our membership is free! 👋
