Youth Mobilities
We realized a Strategic Partnerships project named Youth INN CREW on the Italian island of Sardinia on 15-23 October. The project involved 21 participants from seven countries, including Italy, Romania, Turkey, Greece, Denmark, Sweden and Spain. In this part of the project conducted by the Mine Vaganti NGO in Italy. We worked on the issues of media use, fake-news in the media, the use of media as a propaganda tool against immigrants. During the project, participants played an active role in the activities carried out. We had a productive week creating awareness about the issue using non-formal education methods, as well as contributing to the prevention of fake-news in the media and hate speech created against immigrants. During the project, presentations, discussions were held, and we participants were informed about non-education methods. As a result of the project, he worked in groups and created 5 different activities that will be used in future Erasmus + projects using non-formal education methods. Our achievements are documented with Youth-pass certificates.
We would like to share with you a brief summary of our mobility, which is a part of our KA2 Erasmus+ project called CREW (Creative Thinking Against Fake News) in Athens. It was an event where we evaluated our website with our participants, tested its applicability and presented different and valuable opinions on the subject.
