New methods about the media and its influence in a training for Youth workers
Overcrowded social network’s space, changing digital technologies and distorted reality are promising new challenges. Youth will have to make responsible choices when electing their representatives and building their own state based on information that the critical-thinking will be need to assess and evaluate. In order not to become a tool for politicians, marketers or malicious manipulations, new responses to everyday challenges are needed.
As a result, the network of 10 partners from UK, Germany, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia invites young people and social educators – people in close contact with the growing generation of citizens – to participate in training that will enrich knowledge about:
- Effects of youth social media and other media consumption;
- The problem of bullying in the media and how it can be addressed by youth leaders;
- Peer educators approach;
- Strategies for promoting young people’s critical thinking and their integration with young people;
- Access to media and literacy education;
- International practice in the field;
- New ways to connect with young people.
The trainers are internationally recognised and with solid experience in this field.
