Focus of this Session (Workshop 3) of HATE-LESS Train the Trainer (3/4): Emotional Narratives & Media Influence - How Emotions and Algorithms Shape Media
In this session, participants will explore how emotions shape the way media messages are created, interpreted, and shared.
Using participatory approaches inspired by the HATE-LESS methodology, participants will:
- Learn how to guide youth in recognizing emotional narratives in media
- Explore emotional dynamics and their influence on online reactions
- Create a short participatory video concept using emotion-based storytelling
This approach reflects the HATE-LESS focus on moving from awareness to action by enabling young people to understand media influence and create their own responsible, values-based narratives through video.
Learning Objectives: Participants will:
- Understand how to apply participatory video methods in youth work
- Learn how to facilitate non-formal media literacy activities
- Develop skills in recognizing emotional narratives and media influence
- Gain tools to help youth create emotionally aware responses to hate speech and harmful media content
Methodology: The training is based on:
- Non-formal education methods (interactive, experiential learning)
- Participatory Action Research (PAR) approaches
- Hands-on video creation exercises
- Reflection and peer exchange
This aligns with the HATE-LESS Toolkit approach, which emphasizes participatory storytelling, media literacy, and youth empowerment through creative expression
