Details:
"Share Your Story" is a training course for youth workers, social workers and people involved and with an interest in education, to explore Backpack Journalism (BPJ) competences and life in rural areas, in connection with nature. We will: work on media sources, create content on different platforms (blog, video, photo…) and free softwares, discuss media & their impact on our society and life, exchange skills and knowledge in a non-hierarchical group of learners, share everyday tasks and practical sustainable actions, explore community life - while practicing the competences related to all this!
The main objectives of the course are:
• 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 youth work, education, employability;
• to promote active citizenship, participation of young people and responsibility to make change in the society and community;
• to discuss and re-think concepts such as work, employment, business, economy, ecology and sustainability;
• to create an experience of community through sharing living and working spaces and participating in daily tasks, to contribute directly to environmental, community and social well-being.
Working methods
The program of this TC will offer participants the opportunity to reflect about: how to tell a story, deliver a message & communicate in everyday, social and business situations; the relations between ecology, economics, media & democracy; active citizenship; education. Hands on activities in the house, garden & kitchen will create the setting for applied BPJ skills in real life community work. As a participant, you will be active at three levels: at an individual level, in a team and as a whole group; and there will be three learning dimensions: learning by thinking critically about new and old information; learning by empathy and as a social experience, through sharing with the other participants; and obviously learning by doing. We know it’s a very ambitious plan, but experience so far tells that we can make it!
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.
Costs:
The project has been financed by the Erasmus+ programme. The costs related to accommodation and food will be completely covered by the hosting organisation and the travel costs will be covered according to the Erasmus+ standards. A partecipation fee of 50€ per participant is expected.
Working language: English.
SCADENZA: 12th of December 2014.
