Our new project promotes media literacy and information responsibility among young people

The aim of the project is to increase the resilience to misinformation and to strengthen the media literacy of Estonian youth aged 15-19 in Tallinn, Harju County and Ida-Viru County, as well as of secondary and vocational teachers. The project is supported by the Ministry of Defence. The aim of the project is to train Estonian-speaking young people and teachers in other languages by implementing the project activities (lectures, practical exercises, discussions, meetings with journalists).

Despite the fact that Media and Influencing is now on the agenda of all schools, teachers, especially foreign language teachers, are struggling with the fact that they themselves do not feel competent enough in this field, may not be able to find learning materials and sources, and often do not find support from colleagues.

Our aim is to remedy this situation, both through lessons and meetings with students, and by helping teachers and providing them with new knowledge and methodologies in the field of media literacy.

As part of the project, Tuleviku Meedia will organise guest hours, meetings, workshops and training on media literacy and information responsibility. The main target groups are Estonian-Russian young people aged 15-19 and teachers of other languages (mainly Russian) in Tallinn, Harju County and Ida-Viru County.

The main topics of the practical trainings will be

• Fact-checking tools and their use,
  
• Resistance to manipulation,
  
• Journalistic criteria and ethics,
  
• Journalist and editorial work,
  
• Media literacy teaching tools,
  
• Methodologies and sources that can be used in class.
  

We also plan to organise meetings and training sessions for non-native-speakers (teachers) with the aim of strengthening their information responsiveness, providing teachers with resources and methodologies on how to teach media literacy in a successful and engaging way. Teachers' meetings take place both on-site in Tallinn and online.

Are you a representative of a Tallinn, Harjumaa, Ida-Virumaa school or a teacher and would like to invite us to visit you?

Teachers’ training information will be published separately. We will publish the information about the itinerary in the Tuleviku Meedia's channels.
