Our Travel Journalism & Photography Internship Seminar in Havana and Trinidad, Cuba, -which includes Editorial Meetings, Mentoring Sessions, Feedback, Journalism Workshops, Photography Workshops and more,- culminates in the publication of the #RGNNCuba Magazine.

Vol. II, Summer 2017

Vol. II, Summer 2017 was produced under the editorial direction of RGNN Expert and Mentor Benjamin Jones. Students moreover received photography feedback during interactive workshops with RGNN Experts and Mentors Julio C. Muñoz and Irolan Maroselli.

Each student who participated in the Travel Journalism & Photography Internship Seminar produced a total of two articles, -one about the colonial town of Trinidad and the other about the Cuban capital, Havana,-  as well as a photography portfolio documenting life in Cuba.
