Project Summary

CONTEXT
This project partners- Spain, Turkey, Italy, Romania, Greece-are unified by the goal of teaching pupils to differentiate between responsible and unethical coverage, between real and fake news, prejudice and impartial reporting of events, how to prevent abuse on TV and social media, to be equipped to recognize patterns of deception in television, public speeches and social networking. They must make sure that the efforts of the project relate to this aim – educating teenagers in media literacy, developing communication and leadership skills, and facilitating the sharing of ideas between various cultures. Pupils are working together to evaluate and construct media goods, while creating their own abilities to work in team, intercultural cooperation and imagination.
OBJECTIVES
O1. Rising consciousness of the value of critical media consumption;
O2. Encourage media and responsible news as a means to promote social responsibility;
O3. Enable pupils to conduct simple (mass)media research and to prevent pratices of manipulation
O4. Promote logical thought and reflective learning
O5. Build organizational and listening abilities in multi-cultural settings
O6. Establish intercultural expertise and knowledge of the EU
O7. Improve the student’s imagination
O8 Establish a regional network of involved teen media creators from different European nations.
O9. Build a network of teachers that encourage the usage of media in the teaching of different subjects or as an extracurricular activity
PARTICIPANTS
-Pupils in the working group who are chosen at the outset of the project (minimum 20 students aged 15-17 years from diverse communities, and at least one third of students from marginalized groups. Ideally, we should reach a gender equality in the community composition). We will operate in specific communities for collective mission initiatives which will function as a base for the collection of exchanges. They will often act as managers, presenters or representatives of the crowd, depending on the circumstance. We’ll get 80 pupils in the exchanges.
-32 teachers (foreign language, social sciences, communication sciences, philosophy) will act as supporting instructors; and 10 teachers will take part in the joint-staff training event.
MAIN ACTIVITIES
C1-C4 -pupil exchanges, C5 – training event with joint staff
C1 –SPAIN – Media – yesterday and today
C2 –TURKEY– Media and its power to control minds
C3 – GREECE – The rise of social media, the decline of truth?
C4 – ITALY – From consumers to creators of media
C5 – ROMANIA – Media Education in high schools
METHODOLOGY
– Until mobilities, pupils collaborate in groups on reports and polls on the subject of each case, and consult journalists on various subjects.
-Throughout the meetings, conferences are conducted, seminars are given, media outlets are visited, stories are discussed in classes, newspapers are made, news and stories are generated, posters are created, exhibits are conducted, discussions are given on hot topics relating to the media – social networking, false news, bias studies, perspectives of marginalized communities in the networking, etc. They’re beginning work on it and posting it online.
– At C5 teachers meet to develop a curriculum for the organization of media clubs and the selection of classes for various topics in which the media is used as a instructional medium.
Pupils tend to operate together through the e-newspaper. Newspaper operations will be conducted in the future by leaders of the media clubs.
RESULTS
Outcomes: Knowledge, skills and attitudes gained by pupils and described in each mobility summary and as expected by goals, successful communication between students and teachers, increased self-confidence, willingness to function in multicultural environments, capacity to communicate and support thoughts, increased knowledge of similarities and disparities between countries, enhanced communication with the local community.
Outputs:Student exhibits, media articles and images, expert training papers, student polls prior to each exchange on a particular topic, news stories provided by sts, collages, photo clips, project distribution channels, teacher’s guide on the usage of media in the classroom, methods for setting up media clubs, 5 media clubs
Final outputs: The e-newspaper produced and operated by pupils during the course, which should continue beyond the study, the teacher’s guide for media usage in teaching, and the framework for setting up media clubs.
