Details:
Youth unemployment levels in Europe are hitting new highs: more than 5.7 million (23.6%) young people in the European Union (EU) were without a job in January 2013. In developing the "JOURN@LISM 2DAY" project, we found 6 non-profit organizations that are able to work, train and spread innovative concept in youth work (Backpack Journalism) on European level. The idea of project is based on long cooperation work between two partners (Petrklíc Help and Socialna Akademija). The project builds on sharing good practices and joint learning and development strategies of Backpack Journalism- the usage of journalism tools for social integration and youth employability. Since it is still relatively new tool in the work of youth organizations this project will be a new experience for all partners, and also all partners were asked to contribute with their experience and knowledge.
What is BACKPACK JOURNALISM?:
The aim of Backpack Journalism is to raise media literacy of young people through their active participation as non-professional journalists. The idea of the methodology is to go to different places with basic journalistic equipment and to explore the local environment. Participants take all the equipment with them in their backpacks. The method can be used to motivate and train young people to become citizen journalists and critical media users. It also includes a rich learning dimension, not only in the media literacy context but also in terms of intercultural learning, project management, team work and responsible citizenship.
Training objectives:
• to introduce the methodology of Backpack Journalism (BPJ) and see examples of previous projects and good practice;
• to explore and identify how BPJ can be used as a tool for working with disadvantaged young people;
• to discuss and share how BPJ can increase employability of young people through developing skills such as media literacy, communication skills, responsibility, team work and sense of initiative;
• to inspire participants to include BPJ or elements of BPJ in their organizations and their youth work;
• to develop partnership between organizations which wish to develop BPJ projects in future;
• to promote active citizenship, participation of young people and responsibility to make change in the society and community.
Costs:
Accommodation and meals during the training course will be provided by the organizers. 70% of the travel costs of the participants will be refunded after the training course. There is a participation fee of 50 Euros.
