The 21st century demands raising skills and competences to respond to fast technological development and a shifting digital realm. Media literacy is defined as the ability to access, analyse, evaluate and communicate information and messages in various forms and online platforms. Digital skills are an essential component in using digital devices, communication applications, and networks to access and manage information. They are critical for job creation and social inclusion, enabling people to create and share digital content, communicate and collaborate, and at the same time, solve issues effectively by learning and participating in social activities at a larger scale. Young people are exposed to mass media daily; they watch television and movies, read books, newspapers and magazines online, listen to music and explore the internet. This broad spectrum of exposure to media outlets leads to the need for education about media literacy and digital skills. JOUR-YOU aims to develop and implement innovative methods and practices to foster inclusive activities and promote common values by enhancing the media literacy and digital skills and competences of young people. The project will build the capacity of youth NGOs to use innovative tools and practices, which encourage community engagement of young people through new media technologies. The project aims at developing youth work through the application of training materials and NFIL methods to enhance the critical thinking, media literacy, digital and leadership skills of youth and youth workers. The project consortium from 7 Programme and Partner countries will implement a set of capacity-building activities to reach the set objectives. They include a seminar of youth workers, training materials on citizen journalism (online course, training toolkit, best practices guide), international and local training activities on citizen journalism for Youth Workers and young people in each country and international competition.
