The International Training on Citizen Journalism for Youth Workers and Trainers was conducted in the period 14 – 23 May 2023 under the JOUR-YOU project, funded by the European Union.
12 youth workers from Egypt, Jordan, Albania and Tunisia participated in 3-part training organised by EKO (Athens, Greece), FECE (Sofia, Bulgaria) and EUROSUD (Bari, Italy). The participants spent three days in every country and learnt new non-formal methods for delivering high-quality training on citizen journalism.
The program followed theoretical part (non-formal methods on history and theory of citizen journalism), practical part (non-formal methods for creating articles) and experimental part (non-formal methods for combatting fake news and disinformation and organising raise-awareness campaigns online).
The youth workers will use the new knowledge in the next few months, when they will deliver local training to young people in all partner countries.
