Take a closer look at media literacy!

The youth exchange for the “Look closer” project was a unique experience and certainly left a mark on us, especially considering it was our first such experience. During those ten days, we encountered many challenges, but despite being at a numerical disadvantage, we were able to cope with every inconvenience, which certainly strengthened our personalities and the trust between us.

Other countries may have had a bit more advantages than us, but we believe we did not bring any shame to our country and represented it adequately. The learning process during this exchange was something new for us, but we adapted quite well to the various methods that were practiced.

We managed to learn about media, media literacy, and its importance in our lives, how to distinguish fake news from real news, and we gained tips for online safety along with prevention against cyberbullying. We definitely grasped the main educational content for this exchange, but we also received other information.

Spending time with people from different countries allowed us to discover all sorts of problems in those countries and generally enriched us culturally. We believe that we both met the organizers' expectations and are already looking forward to another such opportunity.
