YOUth LEADers

Training Course

22 June - 1 July 2023 | Busteni, Romania

YOUth LEADers is an extensive Erasmus+ training course focused on the pressing issues of propaganda and fake news in the context of the 2024 EU level elections. The training will carry the participants through the various aspects of critical thinking.
  • We are living in a fast-forward society, and we are permanently exposed to significant quantities of information. Societies and communities are full speed ahead when it comes to flows of information. However, the information we receive on various channels is sometimes distorted or lacks clarity.
  • Youth is often exposed to the disinformation and misinformation. We often see this as transforming in propaganda or fake-news, when misleading is used to promote a political cause or point of view.
  • In 2024 will take place EU level elections, which will shape the future of EU for the future. Youth should be equipped with critical thinking competences and be resilient to fake-news.
  • YOUth LEADers training course aims to answer a set of questions, such as: "Do we have the motivation to embrace the critical thinking skills as tools to enhance correct information among youth?"; "Are we opened to use non-formal methods of education for tackling fake-news and propaganda?";  "Are we interested to learn more about how the EU institutions work?"

Objectives of the YOUth LEADers training course are:

  • Equip 30 youth workers from 10 European countries with critical thinking competences oriented towards correct information, ways to avoid propaganda and fake news;
  • Learn and improve the knowledge about EU institutions election process, as well as define ways to tackle propaganda during election processes;
  • Enhance the organizational capacity of youth organizations in the critical thinking and correct information fields.
