Skepsis vs Propaganda. Sivas, Turkey, 2022

Training course "Skepsis vs Propaganda" was implemented in Sivas, in June 2022 under the funding of Erasmus+ programme.

One more project within our movement "Skepsis vs propaganda" was done! 

The idea of the project was to bring 28 young people from 8 different countries to Sivas, Turkey, and to talk more about how to deal with the amount of fake information circulating all over the Internet and how to apply your critical thinking project to it. 8 days of learning about cognitive biases, logical fallacies, misconceptions, and, of course, propaganda, disinformation, hoaxes, etc. 

During the project, participants created 7 tools, which can later help to share the knowledge of informational distortions to the target group, namely young people, youth workers, and their stakeholders. Besides that, participants discovered more about Turkish culture, especially Sivas considered to be one the most conservative city in the whole country. 

They had a possibility to look for city treasures like mosques, museums, and cafes.

As a result of the project, local volunteers came to see what kind of tools we created and how they work.

Rational Room. Kolin, Czech Republic, 2022

The "Rational Room" training course was held in Kolin, Czech Republic in April- May of 2022 and it was a truly unforgettable experience.

Despite the rigorous training, the days were filled with warmth and laughter as the participants bonded and learned from each other.

The focus of the course was critical thinking, and by the end of the training, each participant had gained the knowledge and skills needed to build their own escape room. The team worked together seamlessly, thanks to effective team-building activities, resulting in the creation of highly logical and engaging escape rooms.

The participants were eager to apply the new knowledge and skills they acquired during the training course to their everyday lives. The course not only provided them with the tools to build unique and challenging escape rooms, but also helped them to develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which will prove to be valuable assets in their personal and professional lives.

In conclusion, the "Rational Room" training course was a highly impactful and enjoyable experience that will have a lasting impact on the participants and their future endeavors.

This project was implemented by Logos with support of Erasmus+  programme.

Critical Power. Spain, Vilanova de Arousa, 2022

The "Critical Power" training course, which was held in Vilanova de Arousa, Spain in March 2022, was part of the Erasmus+ program. It was conducted within the context of the Skepsis movement.

The "Critical Power" training course funded by the European Union's Erasmus+ programme, brought together 20 youth workers from Ukraine, Romania, Poland, Belarus, Georgia, Greece, Malta, and Spain to develop critical thinking skills and information analysis techniques.

The course, taught using non-formal education methods by Veronika Kurkina, an expert in fake news, was made even more relevant by the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine and the accompanying propaganda and misinformation.

Through group work and discussions, participants were able to analyze propaganda, disinformation, and misinformation techniques and learn how to fact-check information.
