Critical thinking — Youth against propaganda. Toila, Estonia. 2022
The “Critical thinking – Youth against propaganda!” is a 7-days long training course that took place in Toila, Estonia and was devoted to the issue of developing critical thinking and media literacy skills.
We were in amazing country Estonia 🇪🇪. And there we were talking more about propaganda, fake news, disinformation. Popular topic, as usual. We had a possibility to implement various of activities, even to visit a local media. So that was a nice practical opportunity to see how news creation process looks from inside.
As a result:
- We increased critical thinking skill among participants of training course and their stakeholders;
- We improved quality of youth work in partner organisations;
- We created 6 tools and workshops about critical thinking for youth workers which can later be applied at local communities;
- We developed new activities within the Skepsis Movement movement to have better continuation and spreading of ideas about critical thinking.
Project was conducted by two trainers, who are working in the field of media literacy and critical thinking, Veronika Kurkina and Viktoriia Nuzhdova.
