“Understanding Media for Inclusion” is an international youth exchange project, which aims to gather 32 young people from 5 different countries (Italy, Portugal, Norway, Turkey & Spain) to prevent radicalization and marginalization of young people, through the deep understanding of media/social media/media literacy, raising awareness of using media in a positive way and promoting media literacy and critical thinking among youngsters. This exchange will take place in Messina, Italy on the 18-25th September 2019 and will include 2 facilitators and 5 group leaders, one for each country. In according to the Assembly debate on the 19th April 2016 of Council of Europe, preventing children and young people from turning to extremist movements must start at an early age when values and beliefs are formed. Hate speech, Islamophobia and discrimination against young people of Muslim background or other religious communities as such (including refugees arriving in Europe) contribute to exclusion and may further reinforce religious radicalization of children and young people. Because of this, we would like to implement our project not only for young people but also by young people as using of non- formal educational methods and activities to achieve the following specific objectives: - To understand how media/social media effects on young people/children and our societies, - To develop critical thinking regarding the information they received through the media, - To be aware of the importance of cultural diversity in local, regional and international level and to develop skills and attitudes to motivate and actively involve our young people in human rights youth projects as preventing radicalization of young people, - To identify and share similarities & differences in practices used in different countries in terms of Media and Media Literacy, - To promote the active participation of young people by using media and social media, - To increase awareness about the refugees/asylum seekers and migrants by using media/social media, - To develop a critical approach towards media messages based on their own experiences, skills, beliefs, and values, - To develop their skills in creating media content and creating videos regarding to preventing radicalization of young people and children, - To offer the opportunity to meet partner groups and develop concrete ideas for future projects focusing on cultural diversity and active participation of young people in order to prevent radicalization of young people, - To support young people to increase their knowledge about Erasmus + Programme and youth exchange projects in order to develop new projects in the future, - To create professional videos (we will have experienced participants) and use social media very actively in order to reach as many as people possible for outcomes of our project and for the visibility of Erasmus + Programme. We will have a special attention to the role of media/social media for the situation of refugees/asylum seekers and refugees. We will increase awareness about the needs of them and to show - as creating videos/blogs/facebook page/youtube channel - how media/social media can take a positive role in preventing radicalization/marginalization of young people in our countries.
