This exchange partnership program was aimed at strengthening the skills of participants and of their respective organisations in the fields of active citizenship and media literacy. Through promotion of participatory processes, including citizen journalism as a tool for active citizenship, youth workers participants received hands-on training that taught them new ways of participating with digital skills and media literacy. The main intended impact was to support youths of their local communities to make their voices heard and enable them to analyse news, report their impressions on local and global issues in a transparent, effective, and non-discriminatory way. more generally, the aim was to provide to participants a renewed sense of civic engagement. The objectives of the project were the following: - Raise awareness on participatory processes, and particularly on the practice of citizen journalism, among youth workers and their respective local communities (youths, civil society organisations, local authorities); - Enhance youth workers' digital competences (privacy, cyberbullying, hate speech on the internet) to enable them to deliver better quality youth work; - Increase youth workers' media literacy (citizen journalism, data verification and fake news, third party tools, website creation for reporting) and allow them to explore the intersectionality of digital and media tools; - Encourage youth workers to reflect on freedom of expression and freedom of media in their own countries and to discuss their local contexts with participants from other countries; - Promote a peer-to-peer learning approach, a critical thinking attitude, group work, and experiential learning throughout the whole exchange; - Trigger active and responsible participation of local communities with respect to being informed and report facts in a transparent, effective, and non-discriminatory way; - Promote a bottom-up approach and entrust youths with the mission of driving change in their communities by reporting on local and global issues; - Foster intercultural competences, respect for diversity, and EU values; - Disseminate information on EU youth policies, the ERASMUS+ program, and opportunities for the mobility of youths and youth workers
