Objectives

The idea of the project appeared during a long-term youth program in Moldova, where young people, during one year, passed through more steps: a survey with local people, identified local problems, wrote public policy, made a strategy to solve the problem, plaied debates on the strategy and made their strategies stronger after all the feedback. Some of the stuff from organising the project have already big experience in this kind of the projects in Moldova, and has a great success among the alumni: some of them become MP in Moldova parliament, city councilors, mayors, etc. The aim of the project was to develop critical thinking, media literacy, solving problems, and encouraging to become a local leader among youth workers and/or facilitators. The main objectives of the „Find and solve media problems through debates” were as follows: - To identify and to talk about problems that local/international media have; - To advance youth workers/facilitators skills and competencies in researching, public speaking, problem-solving, quick thinking, to build an argument; - To advance youth workers/facilitators skills and competencies in developing and implementing media/social media campaigns; - To advocate debates as a tool for establishing a sense of active citizenship, self-responsibility, leadership skills, taking the initiative; - To popularize non-formal education - debates, problem tree, argumentation, simulations, negotiations; - To promote mutual understanding intercultural discourse, social engagement, and unity between young people in EU and EaP countries; - To view consider opportunities of Erasmus+ programs from different angles such as mobility, youth empowerment, and non-formal education; - To identify the certifications that Youthpass provides and to introduce European non-formal learnings projects. - To promote Erasmus+ programs to youth;
