The European project on Media Literacy Empowerment, held in the city of Niš, Serbia, concluded after an intensive week-long training program from 4 to 11 August. The course was organized and led by the Club for Youth Empowerment 018 (KOM 018) in cooperation with Beyond Borders – Italy.
The three Spanish participants from our organization learned educational methodologies and tools to navigate the Internet responsibly and access information appropriately, enabling them to combat oppressive content and become more aware of how to inform themselves effectively.
The project brought together over 30 participants from different countries and organizations, with no age limit. Key topics addressed included:
– Introduction to the Narratives;
– Narratives in Mass Media;
– Introduction to Media Literacy;
– Forms of Media Manipulation;
– Counter and Alternative Narratives in Media Literacy Education.
During the week, an intercultural evening was held, where the Spanish participants had the opportunity to share traditional dishes such as jamón, cured cheese, and sangria.
