This project was implemented within the Skepsis movement which is devoted to critical thinking and media literacy development. In 2020, when the project was applied, there was an emphasis in the Erasmus+ programme on projects enhancing media literacy and critical thinking, which are directly connected to the topic of TC. To specify the needs of the project we contacted our partners (15 organisations) in 2019 and made a little questionnaire asking them about the issues they are dealing with when working with young people. All of them had their own specifics. But all of the answers had some similar parts which were connected to critical thinking: The negative influence of propaganda and fake news Rise of radicalism and xenophobia Lack of deeper understanding of important topics Spread of wrong and sometimes dangerous ideas and misconceptions (e.g.: vaccination causes autism, GMO is dangerous, the earth is flat, etc.) Rise of beliefs in supernatural (astrology, magic, ghosts, etc.) We analysed the information we got and understood that there are different causes leading to these problems. One of those is a lack of effective tools and workshops on critical thinking education among youth workers. We decided to make this training course to address those issues and to have a positive impact on organisations and their stakeholders. Therefore the main AIM of our project was: -To increase critical thinking skills among youth leaders, youth workers and NGO activists and their stakeholders through learning about tools and methods to improve critical thinking and by creating tools and workshops which later would be used in local communities. The set OBJECTIVES were: -To increase critical thinking skills among participants of TC and their stakeholders -To improve the quality of youth work in partner organisations -To promote active citizenship and understanding of democratic processes through knowledge of critical thinking and media literacy -To create 6 tools and workshops about critical thinking for youth workers which can later be applied to local communities -To fight fakes, propaganda, prejudice, misinformation, etc. -To develop new activities within the “Skepsis” movement to have the better continuation and spreading of ideas about critical thinking The training was designed to equip participants with tools that can be used in daily work with young people and the learning outcomes of this training programme have been expected to be disseminated in the youth field through the use of methods, sharing the approach and follow-up.
