🇮🇹 Erasmus+ Online E Learning by Italy 💻 Soft Skills Critical Thinking and Media Literacy 🧠

Description

Discover DevelopMENS! Join our webinar on 15 October, 16:00–17:00 CET, to explore our free learning platform on soft skills, critical thinking, media literacy and Self-Determination Theory, and exchange good practices with other participants.

DevelopMENS (developmens.eu) is a transnational project that brings together a consortium of partners from six countries: Italy (L’ORMA), Croatia (Vere Montis), Bulgaria (BSDA), Bosnia and Herzegovina (BRAVO), Albania (New Vision), and Kosovo (Heimerer College).

This collaborative youth initiative aims to foster the personal and social development of young people through a structured, research-based educational approach. The project integrates four key areas:

Self-Determination Theory (SDT)

Critical Thinking

Media Literacy

Soft Skills Development

The main objective of DevelopMENS is to promote young people’s intrinsic motivation, personal growth and social development by combining these educational components.

A key outcome of the project is the DevelopMENS online learning platform, which is free and accessible to everyone.

During this webinar, we will introduce the platform, present its educational contents and guide you through how to use it. Whether you are a trainer, educator, youth worker or young person, you will discover how to access the courses and resources and how to introduce the platform to other young people who may benefit from this free learning opportunity.

The webinar will also provide a space for participants from different backgrounds and countries to connect, learn together, exchange experiences and share good practices related to youth personal and social development.
