Training Toolkit on Media Literacy for Youth Workers and Trainers
In this toolkit, you will find 30 tools for non-formal learning, which youth workers can use to introduce young people to the basic principles of citizen journalism and media literacy.
Aims of the tool
The focus falls on building skills to search and process information, detect and recognise fake news, create content and distribute it through social media and other traditional channels. Special attention is paid to building leadership skills and communication with specific audiences as well as developing an ethical position on important societal topics and issues.
Description of the tool
This toolkit presents accessible methods and techniques by which youth workers can introduce young people to the basic principles of citizen journalism and media literacy. Through carefully selected role-playing games combined with already developed methods to stimulate critical e thinking, decision-making and teamwork, trainees will step by step enter into a deeper understanding of media literacy and citizen journalism and learn how to put into practice their main principles and elements.
This toolkit is structured into seven main topics, for which an online citizen journalism training course has also been developed. These topics are:
• History and Definition of Citizen Journalism
• Citizen Journalism as a tool for community engagement
• Leadership, building audience engagement (personal branding of citizen journalist)
• Fake news and disinformation – strategies for identification
• Creating content online and reporting events
• Active participation through online presence
• Platforms, networks and user-created content
Each of these topics has a different number of training tools, developed as role-playing games for teamwork, which help to create the necessary knowledge and skills in different aspects of each topic.
