Organisation: "Yeghvard" youth ecological NGO

Project grant approved: €13820

The project is focused on the topic of media literacy participation. It will bring together 30 young people from across Armenia for a training, followed by the community level actions in the participants’ hometowns. At local level, in rural areas in Armenia, there is a lack of media literacy that undermines young people’s meaningful civic and political participation. The project will foster the democratic citizenship and freedom of expression of young people in Armenia by increasing their level of media/information literacy and critical thinking, equipping them with knowledge and skills to become resilient against disinformation and negative influences. The project will consist of a six-day training camp for 30 young people, followed 10 local meetings with young people across Armenia, to be delivered by participants of the training.
