From July 19th to 29th, a trio of Slovaks embarked on an Erasmus+ training course in Cagliari, the capital of the Italian island of Sardinia. The training course focused on youth work with the aim of improving media literacy at various levels. Participants came from Croatia, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Slovakia. The primary goal of the training was to enhance the competencies of youth workers related to media literacy, to address the issue of fake news, the era of "post-truth," and the concept of entropy.
The training program consisted of:
team building among participants,
explanation of concepts such as media literacy, fake news, disinformation, trolling, entropy, post-truth, etc.
a press conference with organizers and local authorities of Cagliari,
workshop: the reality of media literacy in our country,
a lecture with a journalism expert followed by questions and answers,
a film on media literacy,
creation and presentation of one's own seminar on media literacy,
a market of non-governmental organizations, where there was an opportunity to establish an international network of partnerships among youth workers,
a cultural night where we briefly introduced Slovakia,
reflections, final evaluation, and ceremony.
Most of the activities took place in the historical heart of the city, where we were also accommodated, but there was also a trip to the west coast, and one workshop was held on a beautiful beach near the city.
As is usually the case, when you have a productive program and good company, time flies incredibly fast, and it was no different for us. We are taking away a new perspective, friendships, and especially an enriching experience. Thank you very much for the opportunity to represent Youthfully Yours SK, ourselves, and our country. We highly recommend it!
