In February 2016 Telecentre Europe and three members (Maks vzwTelecentar and El Teb) started a new project “Youth e-perspectives on migration”. The idea is to teach young people to use digital media to address important societal issues; the focus topic is refugees and migration affecting many countries in Europe.

The project, funded by the Erasmus+ Programme, will soon come to an end. The project developers would like to share their methodology – a methodology to teach media literacy to young people combining Digital Journalism, Digital Photography and Digital Storytelling plus how to use Online Platforms for a cause.

Last year the methodology was piloted with 25 youngsters from Belgium, Spain and Croatia. They participated in a 6-days face-to-face training and many on and off-line activities around migration, refugees, Europe, digital media.

The workshop organisers believe it is time to share their experience with those working with young people, in order to empower them through digital media.
