CJ Superheroes LTTA

This 5-day LTTA (Learning, Teaching, Training Activity) takes place within the framework of the Erasmus+ project Citizen Journalism SUPERHEROES, which empowers NGOs and educators to use citizen journalism as a tool for civic engagement and storytelling for social change.

The training invites community workers, NGO staff, adult educators and facilitators interested in supporting their learners to critically engage with media and become active contributors to the public discourse.

It is a collaborative testing ground for a brand-new approach to adult learning in the field of citizen journalism. It’s also a space for networking with like-minded professionals from across Europe who share a belief in the power of community storytelling and the urgency of democratic dialogue in the digital age.

In the week before the LTTA, all participants will join a mandatory online session (morning / 3 hours) designed to introduce the digital tools used in the Citizen Journalism SUPERHEROES training program.

Throughout the LTTA, participants will engage in hands-on, interactive sessions focused on 3 core areas:
i. (new) media literacy
ii: media ethics / digital citizenship
iii. practical content creation skills

The training is based on innovative, non-formal lesson plans and tools developed by the project consortium, currently in their pilot phase. These materials will be tested and critically explored during the LTTA.

Participatory methods such as peer learning, group work, discussions, and co-creation sessions will support the evaluation and improvement of the activities. Feedback moments will help refine the educational model based on participants’ insights.
