Media for Europe


The youth exchange will bring to the Czech Republic 30 young people from 6 countries of the European Union to discuss about the role of media in our societies and how media can increase youth participation. Media play very important role in today’s world. They are prerequisites of democracy, but at the same time they influence people very much and especially young people are very often confused by different messages coming across from media. We believe it is very important for young people to understand how media work, be able to work with information and process them and think critically about the information they get. 

This youth exchange will give young people an opportunity to become young journalists and create newspapers, videos and journalism photos. They will work in international groups, have to divide the tasks, learn how to use new tools, make interviews with local people in the Czech Republic and create together a product. 


At the same time, media will be used as a tool to make young people express their opinions about topics like European citizenship, youth participation, democracy, interculturality, discrimination, etc. These media tools will enable young people to express their opinions on these abstract topics in a creative way which is much easier for them.

The results of the project will be after published on a CD which will be disseminated widely among other youth organisations, young people and local communities in the partner countries. These products will be a great tool to enhance the visibility of the Youth in Action programme as well.
