Short description
Taking into account the needs of the so-called "Generation Z", which is characterized by the early adoption of digital technologies and ways of communication, as well as the numerous challenges faced by young people in the Western Balkan region, the project was realized through a specific form of informal education, with the aim of improving media and information literacy. The focus of the project was the problem of a low level of media and information literacy among young people in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina and some of the most important consequences of that problem - lack of solidarity, empathy, respect for diversity and common good, and mutual cooperation and understanding. Taking this into account, the project promoted cultural diversity and intercultural understanding and strengthened the capacities of young people by raising the level of information literacy.
