ScribersHive Europe is an intercultural project using an innovative approach to develop journalism and creative media skills for young people. It will last for 12 months and consists of the following phases:
• Training course in UK – November 2018
• Training course in Poland – April 2019
• Local activities in your own country – ongoing
• Dissemination (showcase) event in the UK – November 2019
The same participants should take part in all parts of the project. This is important because all the activities are connected, so the final impact will be much greater when everyone has worked together for the whole year.
This project will use the ScribersHive methodology to report and interpret cultural and social issues in different European countries. The focus will be migrant or minority groups and how they relate socially and culturally to the majority / host society. The impact of the project will be to show how these issues are reported within each country; how they are “re-interpreted” by people in other countries; and how these reports can be influenced by stereotypes and cross-cultural prejudices.
ScibersHive involves 3 kinds of activities:
• Written journalism
• Graphics / comic strips
• Video or podcast production
Every story will be represented in all 3 forms – but will move from one country to the next as it develops. So for example, participants in France create a piece of written journalism. This is sent to the group in Poland, who will interpret it as a graphic. They send the graphic to Italy, where it is changed into a podcast. How will the story change as it crosses national and cultural borders?
This training activity is funded by: The Erasmus+ Youth in Action Programme.
