The media plays a crucial role in modern society. In its various forms it relays information to the public, and helps communities keep up-to-date with current events from around the world. Additionally, the media serves as a link between the world and policies of governments and its citizens, by informing the latter of the policies and practices of the former. This information helps the public to participate in civil society and in the political processes. Consequently the media not only have enormous potential to influence perceptions and to sway opinions, but arguably also to shape events. Although mainstream media outlets may each have their own rules and ethical standards, it is possible today for almost anyone to become a media producer using the internet. Meanwhile, as technological advances progressively facilitate the transmission of ever greater amounts of information, and to increasingly larger numbers of people, the flow, nature or quality of information cannot be controlled. Consequently it becomes every citizens responsibilities to analyse whatever information that she or he receives before acting upon it. The training course brought together participants from different countries and cultural backgrounds to study the news media, and to contrast different outlets’ portrayal of the same news and events. The project succeeded in helping participants to exercise some cautions towards the information they receive, while at the same time providing them with the tools necessary to assess news materials impartially, thoroughly, and above all rationally. Aim- The training course supported civil society in participants’ countries by developing the competences of youth leaders from civil society organisations active in the field of non-formal learning. Objectives met by the training includes but not limited to; - The project trained 27 youth leaders and youth workers in media literacy skills. -The project provided tools for participants to recognise and quantify biases that appear in the media and political debates -The project established a platform for the exchange of ideas, opinions and experiences -The project supported participants’ competences in democratic leadership and active citizenship, and intercultural communication -The project increased participants’ critical thinking skills -The project built Capacity building of participants. Methodological approach provided the tools for participants to make their own analyses during the course of the training and to reach their own conclusions. The project succeeded in presenting diverse and interconnected viewpoints on certain topical issues taken from the international media which included, islamophobia, gender and xenophobia; participants were also asked to take turns in assessing these issues and then to contrast their conclusions with the others perspectives. All analyses were supported by arguments and evidence. The training sessions were led by teams of facilitators whose only role was to moderate discussions. The analyses were done by participants themselves, working individually and in small groups. The emphasis was on peer education and on interaction among all participants. The methods only allowed information to be analysed as it appears to the public and identifies all biases it contains. The project addressed one of the fundamental challenges of modern society: protecting the freedom of expression and promoting the free flow of information on the one hand, while at the same time trying to limit the dissemination of misconceptions, biases and prejudices on the other by building skills of participants to analyse and filter information with a different and informed prism . The most effective way to deal with the possibility of prejudices appearing in the mass media is not through governmental regulations, but to expand public knowledge on media analyses and this project was a step in the right direction which gave participants the capacity to detect these prejudices or biases when they appear in news media The countries involved in the project were U.K, Spain, Poland, Bulgaria, Italy and Norway who converged in Brighton from 1st August to 8th of August 2015.
