Erasmus EU101 — Media Mentoring

Young people as media mentors: peer-to-peer education on media literacy, democracy and the European public sphere.

Completed September 1, 2022 – August 31, 2024 Erasmus+ (European Union)

What it was

Lecturing people about media literacy works badly. Working it out together works. Media Mentoring trained young people who then carried the subject into their own settings — classrooms, clubs and families.

Components

  • Training of media mentors across several countries
  • Peer workshops on sources, algorithms and how opinion forms
  • An introduction to European institutions and how they work
