Media For All
Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2016 PROJECT FINISHED

42 young people from France, Bulgaria, Estonia, Montenegro, Albania and Serbia who will visit Lyon, France will be involved in the project "Media for All" and will discuss the role of media in our societies and how media can increase youth participation. Together with our partners, we are looking forward to this exchange. The 42 young people will come to the city close to Lyon, from 18-25 August 2016, to reflect about the role of media and become journalists themselves for a couple of days. On daily basis young people receive different information and messages and they need to develop critical thinking concerning all that information. From this point, the main goal of the project "Media for All" is developing abilities of young people. A very important role is given to the media today and they are prerequisites of democracy. Young people are often confused by different messages coming across from media and it is very important for young people to understand how media work, be able to work with information and process the information they get. Young people will get the opportunity to become journalists and create newspapers, short videos and journalism photos are foreseen activities of this project. Everyone of the participants will be able to work in international groups, have to divide the tasks, learn how to use new tools, make interviews with local people and create together a final product. Challenges that young people face (e.g. youth unemployment, social exclusion and marginalization, youth involvement, etc.) as well as the topic of European citizenship will be the main topic and the differences between EU countries and SEE countries, but young people will be free to propose topics, which are important for them. Abstract topics and expressing opinions about them will be enabled throughout this project. Media will be used as one tool through which young people can express their opinion.All results of the project will be disseminated among other youth organisations, we will display all the information about the project amongst young people and local communities in the partner countries and on our website which is in process of completion. The visibility of the Erasmus+ program for youth will be also an accomplished goal through this project.
