Lina Benhaj

Ever since Lina was a child, she felt indignation when she heard about cruelties and injustice in the world. That's why she chose to start studying international journalism at the Thomas More University of Applied Sciences in Mechelen. She gets intrigued easily and when a topic really grasps her attention, she has thousands of questions to ask. Lina loves to learn and to meet new people and cultures. She aspires to bring unknown stories to the surface, aiming to make a difference.

Lina and her colleague Luna Van den Hauwe won the prize for best collaboration at Belgodyssee 2024, a competition for aspiring journalists.
