Two local trainings on the topics on how the EU functions and what are fake news and disinformation were held in Sofia under the CommEUnication – Youth Engagement for Communicating the EU.
The first training was held in-situ mode, on 14 January 2022. The training included presentation of the CommEUnication project, insights on the functioning of the EU and how decisions are made, the impact of fake news and disinformation and various interactive games to get acquainted with the topics of the project. A representative from the Bureau of the European Parliament in Bulgaria visited the training and answered questions from the young participants. Additionally, the participants got acquainted with EP’s new initiative “Together for the EU” and received publications and promotional bags.
The second training was held on 20 January, online through the WEBEX platform. The training included the same presentations and material as the in-situ training and for the interactive activities the trainers used the resources provided by Slido.com.
Both trainings saw the participation of 28 citizens between 18-35 years old.
