🌍 Erasmus+ explained — the complete beginner's guide to Europe's largest youth programme.Millions of young people have taken part in Erasmus+ since its launch, but many still don't fully understand what the programme actually includes, who it's for, or how to get involved. This in-depth guide breaks down everything: the different types of mobility, funding opportunities, eligibility criteria, and what you can realistically expect from participating. If you've ever wondered whether Erasmus+ is right for you, this guide gives you all the answers in one place. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/15096/
❗️What Is This Training About?
What measures youth workers take to support media/ digital literacy leading into stronger civic engagement ? The seminar will foster exchanges of tools and approaches emerging from youth work and assess their transferability.
🏘️ How Erasmus+ youth projects create lasting change in local communities. The impact of Erasmus+ goes far beyond the individuals who participate. Local communities, host organisations, and even entire neighbourhoods are shaped by the projects that take place within them. This article explores the broader social impact of Erasmus+ youth exchanges — from building intercultural understanding to empowering grassroots organisations — and makes a compelling case for why these projects matter beyond the personal level. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/3595/
ℹ️ Description About The Opportunity
SALTO EuroMed will implement an Experts’ & practitioners' Seminar on Media/Digital Literacy. This seminar will focus on practices & tools of organisations active or not in the programmes (ESC/E+) which can be transferred into the youth work field and in other contexts & realities (geographical scope, national realities).
Media/Digital literacy is key to strengthen critical thinking in information environments that are deeply transformed by Artificial Intelligence. Media/Digital literacy is essential as a response to technological transformations that affect the quality of public debate and access to reliable information.
In this context, youth work can play a strategic role in supporting young people in the development of these critical and civic competences. Organisations can create non-formal learning spaces where young people experiment, analyse, and sometimes produce digital content in a responsible way. By strengthening media/digital literacy, organisations can contribute to resilience against disinformation and to the development of more autonomous and responsible digital civic engagement.
Objectives :
The general objective of the seminar is to enable field experts and practitioners active in youth work and media/digital literacy to exchange, analyse, and assess the transferability of tools and practices that strengthen young people’s critical thinking, resilience to AI-driven disinformation, and meaningful digital youth participation across European and South Mediterranean contexts.
What to expect :
- Exchange practices. Identify and share concrete media/digital literacy tools and youth work methodologies that link media/digital literacy, critical thinking, Generative AI awareness, and digital participation & youth.
- Understand AI-related challenges. Develop a common understanding of how Generative AI influences information ecosystems, transforms disinformation and youth engagement, impacts creativity and media/content creation, and identify key competence needs to deal with these challenges.
- Assess transferability. Reflect and build on the criteria for what makes a successful and transferable media/digital literacy approach and evaluate which practices can be adapted across European and South Mediterranean contexts, and under what conditions.
- Foster future cooperation. Explore opportunities within Erasmus+ Youth and the European Solidarity Corps programmes.
Participants profile
Please note that only a limited number of spaces are available (max 10/12 participants).
We aim to bring together a diverse group of experts actively working on media and digital literacy with youth. All participants should have a good level of knowledge regarding digital/AI stakes; particularly regarding critical thinking. A scope that includes youth work will be an asset.
- Experts including researchers, trainers and facilitators
- Youth Workers / Practitioners including those who have no previous experience on Erasmus + or ESC Programmes.
All participants should:
- Have practical experience working with Digital/Media/AI
- Be willing to share concrete examples and good practices (Methods, tools, context, outputs), and give insights in their application
- Be motivated and be open to collaborating with the team of experts and coordination team
- Commit to preparation work (approximately 5 hours) and full participation in the event
Selection & Participation
Selection will be based on relevant experience and diversity of practices. We aim for a geographically balanced and diverse group, including representatives from different sectors and countries and a variety of experiences.
Applicants will be asked about their experience, views on current challenges, and how they plan to take the topic forward after the Seminar.
