TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
This is a reference for Seg Kirakossian
The main aim of the mobility was to give youth workers tools to see through political propaganda, marketing tricks of big companies and other manipulative techniques.
The objectives were:
- to teach critical thinking skills in order to see through mislead spread by (social) media.
- to help youth workers prevent radicalization, isolation and social exclusion of people that don’t follow the latest trends or face difficulties or obstacles.
- to give youth leaders tools to teach youngsters to create resistance against peer pressure by equipping them with basic principles of financial literacy, long-term planning and goal setting instead of short-term thinking and buying instant satisfaction.
- to provide enough knowledge and skills to be able to transfer this topic to other young people through future activities.
There were 24 youth workers and youth leaders from 8 countries - Belgium, Armenia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Georgia, Italy, Spain, Ukraine.
