Mainstream Media has a very important role on shaping perspectives and attitudes in society. Without the necessary critical thinking skills and media literacy skills discriminatory views can be easily influenced. How can we challenge this as youth workers and engage youth in their sense of digital citizenship?

Main aims:

• To explore and develop an understanding of key concepts
• To equip youth workers with creative tools, activities and methodologies exploring media literacy, digital citizenship and the promotion of intercultural tolerance and understanding.
• To develop participants skills to analyse and evaluate power and impact of media images and messages.
• To develop participants’ abilities to produce alternative media messages that promote tolerance and inclusion.
• To explore further possibilities of projects and cooperations on this topic within the framework of the Erasmus+ programme. 

This is a partnership between the Irish National Agency- Leargas and the National Youth Council of Ireland.
