23.01.2022
On January 23, 2022 during the Sunday school at the Church of the Nativity in Mladost 3, Sofia, a workshop with young people aged between 9 and 16 was held. The discussed topics were: What are the fake news?; Where and how to get the best information?; What can we do in order to combat the fake news in our daily lives?; How to check if the news are fake or not? Kliment Hristov, PhD, who is a lecturer at the Faculty of Theology at Sofia University “St. St. Kliment Ohridski” had a special part during the workshop as a lecturer.
The Structured Learning for Awareness in Media project explores the similarities, differences and potential synthesis among the different yet interrelated challenges faced by West Balkans countries and Europe within a transnational effort aimed at laying the grounds of a greater media literacy and critical thinking at the level of the youth and, by extension, of society as a means to provide an antidote against phenomena of hate speech and a building block of successful integration processes.

THE SLAM PROJECT IS GOING TO IMPLEMENT THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL:
• A training format in which youth operators are going to be able to develop specific tools for media literacy for young people;
• Youth Exchange for media literacy and migration/refugees;
• Workshop with mixed groups of youth workers and young people;
• Social campaign;
• Creating a Handbook and online platform.

The Structured Learning for Awareness in Media project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ program of the European Union.
