The project includes a preparatory stage, training course, dissemination and follow-up activities.

Training methods used & main activities

The media literacy and critical thinking approach in youth work is targeted through non-formal learning what is relevant to Erasmus+ Programme objectives and priorities for year 2018.

Activities include presentations, analytical workshops, simulations, hands on workshops, interactive multimedia workshops, debates, collaborative work, brainstorming, energizers, and team building exercises. Individual and group reflection sessions are included in the program with aim to provide the participants an opportunity to reflect on their learning
process. The questions and discussion connect theories to a concrete youth work.
Participants present their organisations and share best practices and know-how, meet journalists and learn about youth programmes in Europe.
