Project activities:

Networking meeting (October 2019)

Young people from partner organizations and facilitators from the organizations will come together in a one-day meeting to develop and strengthen their partnership, to share their youth projects experience, but mostly the work aiming to develop young people’s creative media and digital skills, to support youth owned media projects, and to engage young people in the implementation of Agenda 2030. The groups will identify the specific training needs of the young people and design the opportunities provided through the project.

The partners will develop and provide to the selected 18 young people a 2-day workshop on the following topics:

– storytelling & visual storytelling, and basics on solutions journalism and investigative journalism;

– Agenda 2030 and young people’s role in its implementation.
 
Develop a guide on solutions journalism for young people (Nov. 2019-Feb. 2020)

We will develop an online guide for young people to understand and apply solutions journalism in their media projects.
The 18 young people participating in the Nordic level workshop will initiate and develop media contents, on Agenda 2030. Each of them will involve other 2-3 young people from their youth group.
