The "Skepsis. More than just tools" is a 7-days training course on critical thinking that was held in France, in October 2022. 

The training course involved participants from 6 countries: France🇫🇷, Poland🇵🇱, Malta🇲🇹, Spain🇪🇸, Croatia🇭🇷, Latvia🇱🇻

The project aimed to increase critical thinking skills among youth leaders, youth workers and NGO activists and their stakeholders through learning about tools and methods to improve critical thinking and by creating tools and workshops which later would be used in local communities.

We had a lot of activities devoted to raising critical thinking and media literacy skills. We spent these days learning, сhilling, visiting Carcassonne castle, playing games, getting to know each other cultures  and more other interesting things. 

We would like to express our gratitude to all the partners involved and the hosting organization, Amitie Franco Russe Languedoc and to Erasmus+ for this project to happen.

At the project participants worked in several groups creating various materials connected with critical thinking. Below you can see the results of their work:

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.

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.
