Critical thinking. Clean mind (Lviv, Ukraine)

26 May – 3 June 2018

At this project, we gathered young people from 6 countries to share the initial idea of the movement and give participants an opportunity to be part of creating this
movement.

The aims of the project

The main aim of the youth exchange Critical Thinking Clean Mind is to develop critical thinking and media literacy skills among young people and to
develop ideas for future activities and projects in terms of this movement.

To find common ground and innovative ideas for future partnership working using the skills and knowledge of people from diverse backgrounds.
To develop future projects on the topic.
To increase media literacy among the participants.
To increase understanding of how media and social networks affect our perception.
To raise participants’ awareness and understanding of other cultures and countries.
To create the concept, vision, brand, logo, motto, and possible activities for the future movement devoted to critical thinking and media literacy.

At this YE, we shared the initial idea of the Skepsis movement and allowed participants to be part of creating this movement.

For seven days (24th of May – 3rd of June, 2018), we worked on the movement’s concept, vision, possible activities at local and international levels, project plans, etc. We also created simple tools which could help to develop critical thinking, media literacy and help with dealing with fakes and disinformation.

At the end of the Youth exchange, we ran an open event in Lviv, where we invited locals to learn about the project and critical thinking. We had over 40 guests at this event.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
