Two students win the Prix Europa 2024 Student Award!

17.10.2024
On 11th October, the winners of the Prix Europa awards were revealed. Marion De Windt and Géraldine Ngono Nkoumba, two Master’s 2 Journalism students, distinguished themselves by winning the Student Award for Best Podcast!

Their creation, entitled "Migratory Violence: Léa Survives, Testifies," immerses listeners in the moving story of Léa, a Cameroonian woman who decided to leave her country in the hope of a better future in Europe. Her testimony, delivered unfiltered to the two students, retraces a harrowing journey, marked by forced labour in Algeria and sexual exploitation in Italy.

This poignant podcast, imbued with humanity and courage, is available on Mammouth, the IHECS media outlet. Discover or rediscover this story below.
