Schools and institutions
Duckling for schools and institutions
High schools and other institutions use Duckling’s platform to run their own publications, with approved contributors. We call them Ponds. We collaborate with Foreningen Skolemedier, who run learning programmes, tutorials, and workshops in school journalism.
School media in Denmark
Workshops and school papers for gymnasier, efterskoler, højskoler, and grundskoler are run by Foreningen Skolemedier, an independent Danish association with its own board and statutes. That includes Journalist for a Day, developed with the Constructive Institute, where working journalists visit a school and students research, interview, give feedback, and publish their own stories.
Duckling built the platform it runs on and keeps running it. The association decides the programme, and teachers and schools deal with them directly.
A Pond of your own
A Pond is a self-contained space inside Duckling: your own storytellers, your own editorial line, your own front page, connected to the rest of the network rather than walled off from it. Institutions that want their students’ or members’ work gathered in one place run one.
- Your work in one place, with an address of its own, instead of scattered across feeds that bury it.
- The community services are run by Duckling, so nobody has to arrange sessions or find mentors themselves.
- Seats for your people, which they keep for as long as they are with you.
Talk to us
Every institution wants something slightly different, so this starts as a conversation rather than a price list. Tell us who your people are and what you want them to make.
