Editing, Writing, and Media Program in Valencia, Spain

Welcome to the online component of Nomadic Noles

The print magazine is produced by students in the Editing, Writing, and Media Program during their summer classes in Valencia, Spain. This publication gives students a hands-on opportunity to learn more about the editing, writing, design, and social media aspects of publishing. Students who sign up for the program become unofficial foreign correspondents while exploring the region. Valencia offers plenty to see, do, and write about: medieval churches, renowned art museums, and European football, just to name a few. 

The students write journalistic-style articles based on their experiences in the EWM-Valencia program and learn how to produce eye-catching designs for publication. In addition, they will hone their editing skills for print and social media. At the program’s end, articles are compiled in a magazine that students can show to potential employers or graduate schools.
