Erasmus+ CBY– “Citizen Journalism Academy for Youth” (JOUR-YOU)

Citizen Journalism Academy for Youth is an Erasmus+ KA2 Capacity Building for Youth project that aims to build the capacity of youth organisations to use innovative tools and practices, which foster community engagement of young people through new media technologies.

April 1, 2022 – March 31, 2024 

Summary

The 21st century demands raising skills and competences to respond to fast technological development and a shifting digital realm. Media literacy is defined as the ability to access, analyse, evaluate and communicate information and messages in various forums and online platforms.

Digital skills are an essential component in using digital devices, communication applications, and networks to access and manage information. They are critical for job creation and social inclusion, enabling people to create and share digital content, communicate and collaborate, and at the same time, solve issues effectively by learning and participating in social activities on a larger scale.
