About the project
Critical thinking Youth Force was a Youth exchange that was hosted by Logos Latvia between 25th of April and 3rd of May 2019. This project was supported by the Latvian national agency as part of Erasmus+ programme and made within Skepsis movement framework. At this project we had 30 young people from Poland, Latvia, Czechia, Slovenia, Bulgaria and Croatia.

We aimed to share with all participants the initial idea of the Skepsis movement, and give them an opportunity to be part of it through developing various materials connected to topics of critical thinking and media literacy.
We had the following objectives:
- To increase understanding of how media and social networks affect our perception;
- To increase media literacy among the participants;
- To develop skills of critical thinking among participants;
- To create the possible activities for the Skepsis movement devoted to the critical thinking and media literacy;

- To raise participants’ awareness and understanding of other cultures and countries;
- To create a comics book.
