Journalists Take on the Fourth Wood Chopping Challenge in Belarus

2025-11-11

Last week in Belarus, the fourth Wood Chopping Challenge for media representatives took place on the banks of the Vyacha Reservoir. This year’s event drew 39 teams — five more than last year, including international, national and regional media.

Journalists swapped notepads for axes, joining team relays, workshops with professional loggers, and family-friendly outdoor fun. Since its launch in 2022, the challenge has become a beloved tradition among media professionals. Thanks to the Belarusian Union of Journalists for sharing these amazing photos — and letting us share the laughter here at Home of Journalists, where we’re always glad to see journalists bonding beyond the newsroom.
