Sinaia, Romania
19-27 May 2022

The informal group of young people "Greek Odysseuses" is looking for 4 participants, without age limit, preferably active in the field of youth or from youth workers for the training course "Captain FACT".

"Captain FACT" project is implemented with the financial support of the European Union through Erasmus+ Youth program.

✨ About the project

Disinformation is serious problem at EU level, which increased hand-in-hand with development of technology and information flows in the online environment. Youngsters are among the most exposed to this phenomenon, at the time when critical thinking and positioning in relation to society and community are formed. The significant amount of disinformation in the online environment often distorts young people's perception of fact and reality. The core of our project is defined as experimenting ways and methods for identifying, understanding and tackling disinformation.

The project will involve 30 youth workers from 7 European countries: Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Poland, Turkey and Romania. The participants will improve their personal competences in the field of critical thinking and correct information.

Regarding the training methodology, activities are structured in 4 phases, along a 7 days training course, through which we can ensure the fulfillment of the 4 specific project objectives:
• Stage 1 - Group cohesion
• Stage 2 - Exploration and intercultural knowledge
• Stage 3 - Personal experimentation
• Stage 4 - Continuation and follow-up
