19-26/11/2017 - Εκπαιδευτικό Πρόγραμμα: The danger of a Single Story (Τσεχία)

"The danger of the single story" is a training course that combines stories, media, global education and active citizenship to empower trainers, educators, youth workers and give them better tools to do their work in these fast changing times. It will take place in a beautiful environmental center in Horažďovice (www.envicentrum.eu/en), about 1 hour from Prague.

Young people need to learn how to be critical users of media content, and how to be producers of information, not only passive users.
We want to explore the challenges democracies are facing nowadays, such as environment, refugees, rise of radical and violent politics, and the ways in which media - in particular, social media - contribute to the creation of stereotypes, prejudice, intolerance and violent movements. Can this be reversed? How can we play our role as educators and youth workers?

The programme will include many different activities, theory and practice of different forms of storytelling (from theatre to writing, comics, presentation skills, social media), plus reflection, discussions, open workshops to encourage critical thinking and personal contributions.

A strong focus will be put on how to pass the results of the course to the organisations and the beneficiaries back home. The dissemination of results, being this a training course on media awareness and use, will have a central role and we will produce infographics and reports easy to share and with a high visibility.

Some of the competences that will be developed during the course will be: storytelling; effective communication; awareness about the relations between ecology, economics, technology, media & democracy; active citizenship; better understanding of global issues around education and democracy.

The project has been financed by the Erasmus+ programme.
The costs related to accommodation and food will be completely covered by the hosting organisation and the travel costs will be covered according to the Erasmus+ standards. Participation fee is on a sliding scale between 40 and 100€, each participant can decide the precise amount according to his/ her financial possibilities.
