the summer of 2018 , I was a student and completely despaired for the profession , I even wanted to leave university . Because finding a job in unbiased media seemed very difficult , and there was a lack of knowledge . During that difficult period RPDI appeared in my life . I was selected to the Shkola Zhurnalistiv ( School of Journalists ). Ten days in the RPDI team and the company of colleagues changed my life forever . After that summer , I wasn ’ t losing connection with RPDI . Only during the previous year , there were dozens of training and projects . For example , New Investigators - 2 , after which I was able to work on probation in Kyiv .»
