Project objectives
- Support the efforts of the Ukrainian government and civil society to counter Russia and pro-Russian propaganda.
- Validate and share mutually relevant Estonian-Ukrainian experience in building synergies.
- Improve the basic practical skills of Ukrainian teenagers in working with information from the media, social media and private conversations. Promote understanding of the impact of their own behaviour.
- Encourage and develop Ukrainian teenagers' critical thinking when consuming and especially responding to information from the media, social media and private conversations (amplification, suppression of amplification, etc.), taking into account typical Russian and pro-Russian narratives in the Ukrainian information space.
Actions and results
Within the framework of the project, it is planned to provide in-depth practical knowledge and skills to Ukrainian media literacy experts and teachers (trainers of trainers), to develop educational content for conducting a media literacy crash course in Ukrainian schools and youth centers in the amount of two academic hours.
We follow the logic that the main implementation of activities and use of resources takes place in the target country. Today, Estonia has both a scientific and a practical methodological base for teaching media literacy to schoolchildren. Let's take this knowledge and make it work in the context of Ukraine.
