Objectives

Project "The power of media? The power in me! "Is a joint venture of six youth organizations from six European Union countries. Its purpose is to increase young people's ability to use the media, analyze and critically think about the information they receive, so that they can form their own opinions and are better, responsible and more involved citizens of their countries and the European Union. 42 people will participate in the project, including group leaders. Participants are young people from our organizations, people aged 19-29 who are students or fresh graduates or work professionally. During the 7-day youth exchange, participants will get to know each other, present their organizations, discuss media types and features, traditional and changed media role in the modern world, practice media literacy (so-called media literacy) and associate it with the wider issue of conscious national and European citizenship . Therefore, the project abounds in a range of competences, knowledge, skills and attitudes that will be developed by the participants during the preparation and mobility itself, in particular the ability to think critically and form their own opinions. The project will have a significant impact on the participants themselves, increase their perception of the environment, emphasize independence and refrain from propaganda and manipulation. For participating organizations, the project will be another opportunity to deepen cooperation, which was established in this matter more than a year ago.
