The M100 Young European Journalists Workshop (M100YEJ) was initiated in 2005 as part of the M100 Sanssouci Colloquium. Every year, the workshop is addressed to young journalists between the ages of 18 and 26 from Europe, the countries of the Eastern Partnership and Russia. In addition to the cultivation of practical and theoretical knowledge relating to journalistic work, the workshop also seeks to generate professional contacts and long-term ties among participants.
