โ๏ธWhat Is This Training About?
MEDIA LITERACY FOR YOUTH WORKERS is a training course on media literacy education dedicated to youth workers.
๐๏ธ 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 โ from building intercultural understanding to empowering grassroots organisations โ and makes a compelling case for why these projects matter beyond the personal level. ๐ https://youthworkshub.org/3595/
โน๏ธ Description About The Opportunity
Description
The training course aims to strengthen the competences of youth workers in media literacy, critical thinking, and countering disinformation in their work with young people. It seeks to equip participants with practical tools, methods, and educational approaches to help youth critically analyze media content, identify manipulation, and promote responsible digital engagement among youth.
Objectives
1. To develop youth workers understanding of media literacy concepts, disinformation, and the influence of social media algorithms.
2. To improve youth workersโ critical thinking and fact-checking skills, including identifying stereotypes, bias, and manipulation techniques in media content.
3. To explore and test non-formal education methods and gamification approaches for promoting media literacy among young people.
4. To support youth workers in designing, testing, and disseminating media literacy activities that can be implemented in their local youth work contexts.
Target Group
The Training Course will gather together 25 youth workers from Erasmus+ Programme countries.
The course will primarily be aimed at participants over 22 years old (there is no upper age limit), who are part of NGOs, youth centres, or educational institutions and are active as youth workers.
Requirements for participants
- Youth workers actively working with young people in NGOs, with at least 12 months of experience in this position
- Trainers, facilitators, and educators involved in non-formal education

- Youth workers working with young people with fewer opportunities

Methodology
The Training Course will be based on the principles of gamification and non-formal education (NFE). Gamification is the process of using game elements in a non-game context.
The NFE methodologies are varied, participatory, and learner-centred. They include a mix of individual and group learning activities and encourage participants to learn from each other.
The workshops will approach the following themes:
- Media literacy
- Disinformation
- Biases
- Stereotypes
- Manipulation techniques in media
Participants will learn to create game-based activities focused on developing media literacy skills among young people.

This article captures the evolution of every Erasmus+ group dynamic with humour and honesty โ and if you haven't experienced it yet, consider this your preview of what's coming. ๐ https://youthworkshub.org/15112/

But the real story is much richer than that. This article takes you through what genuinely happens at each stage of a project's life โ the doubts, the breakthroughs, the unexpected friendships, and the quiet moments that change everything. A deeply human look at what these programmes mean beyond the paperwork. ๐ https://youthworkshub.org/15180/
