WHAT IS THE PROJECT ABOUT
Funded by Erasmus+ and run in cooperation with 5 countries: Sweden, Portugal, Lithuania, Greece and Spain, the "Culture Under the Lens" project seeks to address the challenges young people face in navigating media, pop culture, and disinformation, by equipping them with the necessary tools to overcome these challenges, and ensuring effective impact.
Its goals are:
- to equip young individuals with the skills to critically analyze media representations and pop culture;
- to foster cultural awareness and conduct intercultural dialogue;
- to promote creativity, multimedia skills, media literacy and digital competencies;
- to promote critical thinking and enhance creative problem-solving skills; to promote active citizenship and empower participants to take proactive stances on local and international challenges.
The project is comprised of two Youth Exchanges that will take place in Orrefors, Sweden, and an online mentoring program in between.
First Youth exchange was successfully implemented and was so engaging from the very first minute.
