Leading for Transformation course (planned late 2026)

A practical leadership course for editorial decision-makers

What does it mean to be a narrative leader in 2026? How can you take the lead in helping people to understand the world? Stories are more important than ever, but by whom, where, and how do they get told?

Leading for Transformation is a course for editors-in-chief, associate editors, managing editors, founders, product and communication leads, and all-level managers who push change. With inspiring guest speakers (see photos). If you want a clearer sense of what it means to lead and a safe global space to discuss challenges, then this is for you!


Solutions Journalism Retreat, May 2023

โ€œGreat Solutions Journalism retreat with an interesting and varied program. The different parts of the program turned out to be interconnected, which added depth to the overall experience. The location in the beautiful Frisian countryside, with lovely food and interesting people, made it a retreat to remember!โ€

Policy Advisor, Artificial Intelligence & Algorithms

โ€œSanne has been our mentor through the Solutions Journalism Accelerator by the European Journalism Centre and the Solutions Journalism Network. Sheโ€™s been incredibly supportive and encouraging while providing useful challenges to help us develop and progress in our work. Sheโ€™s really helped me think through how to write and commission articles.โ€

Online training enables collaboration across borders, as shown here in a session with journalists from Europe, Africa, and Asia during the Train-the-Trainer programme of the Solutions Journalism Network.

Inclusive Journalism designs and facilitates online trainings that are rigorous, participatory, and attentive to the realities of working under pressure. We use interactive tools and structured discussion in well-paced sessions that allow participants to stay focused and engaged over time.

This approach is particularly suited to international teams working across time zones and contexts. Reach out if youโ€™d like to explore whether it fits your setting.

Our inspiration

โ€œWhat the earth is exhausted of is not its resources, what it has lost is its meaning. This is the great burden that now rests upon writers, artists, filmmakers, and everyone else who is involved in the telling of stories: to us falls the task of imaginatively restoring agency and voice to nonhumans.โ€
