Training Course
30 May - 8 June 2024 | Brzece, Kopaonik, Serbia
Media and information literacy is important because it empowers individuals to critically evaluate and understand the media they consume, as well as to communicate effectively and ethically in a digital world. It helps individuals to distinguish between credible and unreliable sources, to understand the role of media in shaping public opinion, and to use media and information technologies responsibly. In today's world, where access to information is easier than ever, media and information literacy is essential for active and informed participation in democratic societies.
Motivated by this context and reality, this project will contribute in redirecting the use of MIL, ICT and SM in a way that is collaborative and innovative, produces multiple learning outcomes and develops new skills, essential in the future employability skill set of the youth.
Through raising our own awareness and improving our skills as youth workers, we can make stronger impact and have more positive influence on youth, within our communities and on a broader international level, utilizing the Erasmus+ framework.
The main aim of the project is to empower youth workers with the skills and knowledge they need to engage with media in a meaningful and informed way, and to use media as a tool for personal and professional growth and development of their respective communities and youth groups they engage.
During this training-course, participants will:
- develop critical thinking skills to evaluate the credibility and reliability of informtion sources.
- understand how media and information technologies work and how they shape communication and society.
- recognize the role of media and information in shaping public opinion and shaping political and social systems.
- explore civic participation from participants own experiences, resources and opportunities available to address issues of concern through democratic, civil and civic engagement.
- develop, improve and reinforce the digital skills of the youth workers and how to use them.
- understand the ethical and legal issues related to the use of media and information.
- promote the active and responsible use of media and information in various contexts, such as education, work, and civic engagement.
- encourage the development of media and information literacy skills among different groups, including marginalized and disadvantaged communities.
- develop the ability to effectively access, use and create media and information for personal and professional purposes.
- understand the role of media and information in promoting cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue.

Crveni krst Kruševac (Others)
Our host is Crveni krst Krusevac, a humanitarian, independent and voluntary organization formed in Krusevac in 1876, as a local organization in Serbia, and a part of network of Red Cross of Serbia, as the only national society within the Republic of Serbia. Our local organization of Red Cross has 1286 members, more than 500 volunteers (most of them are youth), as well as 4 full time working professionals in the secretariat.
The Red Cross is one of the oldest and most massive organizations in the world. The high level of support and credibility that the Red Cross has is a consequence not only of the recognition of our humanitarian mission, but also of the high level of integrity, objectivity and professionalism of employees and volunteers. The Red Cross helps all people in need, regardless of any differences between them. We are part of a great world movement and participate in providing assistance to all who are affected by a disaster - natural or environmental, war or individual life crisis. We assist vulnerable people with the aim of getting them out of the crisis as soon as possible and returning to normal life.
In the Red Cross of Krusevac, youth can also attend various programs of non-formal education, learn about Erasmus Plus programs, international participation and European values. One of our main goals is to guarantee creative and quality time for youth to spend, by projects in the following themes: non-formal education and training, creative workshops, international youth projects, voluntary work, etc.
