“EU in a Nutshell” Co-Creation Workshop- Media Mentoring for Youth (Instagram Post)

Background

The EU in a Nutshell project was developed in response to the growing challenges young adults face in today’s media-centric world, where misinformation and digital manipulation are widespread. The project addresses these issues by empowering individuals aged 18-25 to critically engage with digital content while fostering a strong understanding of democratic principles.

By combining media literacy education with practical skills in video editing and content creation, the project equips participants to critically analyse information, create meaningful media projects, and engage with societal issues. Beyond technical skills, it emphasizes the ethical responsibilities of being a digital citizen, the role of media in democracy, and the importance of collaboration and mentorship in fostering informed and active participation in democratic processes.

Through this initiative, young people are empowered to become creative, responsible, and engaged contributors to a more inclusive and democratic society.

Aim

The co-creation workshop aims to design a comprehensive mentoring programme tailored to the target audience, including key components such as identifying needs of mentors and mentees, objectives, duration, intensity, KPIs, recruitment, and initiation procedures.

Participants will refine digital and media literacy resources for integration into the programme, discuss details of the Brussels visit, and collaborate with practitioners working in youth mentoring and related fields. The workshop will establish a foundation for ongoing youth engagement and active participation in democratic processes.
