St(r)eaming EUROmedia
Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Apr 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The idea of the youth exchange "St(r)eaming EUROmedia" came from young people who want to reflect on the way we are influenced by media and how we react to information from media. The youth exchange will tackle topics like advertising, social networks, media manipulation, media and freedom, election campaigns, etc. Young people from United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Slovakia and Poland will be able to compare the situation in their countries and discuss about the role media play in our societies. For each of the topics, there will be reflective workshops using presentations, discussions in small groups and in plenary, games, quizzes, etc. These will enable young people to present their opinion about the particular theme. After that, participants will get time to create some real media output on these topics. They will be able to record short movies, write their own newspaper or take journalist photos, using the ideas and inspiration from the morning sessions about the theme. The 7-day programme will use methods on non-formal education and learning by doing. We will also communicate actively with the local community in the venue of the exchange and try to involve them in the project and in creating our media outputs. The results of the youth exchange will be disseminated through social networks, websites and through our partner organisation. We also hope that some of the young participants will decide to continue after the project, they will organise their own project or perhaps even establish their own NGO. We will inform them about the Erasmus+ programme and possibilities to organise their own project. We will present the project as a good practice at various seminars, trainings, partnership-building activities and conferences where we take part. Thus, we would like to ensure the follow-up of the project and motivate other youth workers to work on this topic with young people. The young participants of the youth exchange should act as multipliers of the results. We will provide them with all the photos and materials about the project and motivate them to share their experience with their friends, parents, teachers and other members of their local community or organisation. It will increase the number of young people who want to be active in the field of voluntary work and Erasmus+ programme.
