Time for the young: Understand. Debate. Act

By Justyna Laszczynska | Ms

We are starting a new project in February. The "Understand. Debate. Act" project develops civic competences and resilience to disinformation among students from four secondary schools in the Ek and Olecko counties in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. The project addresses the needs of young people living in an environment of low social trust, information overload, and insufficient digital and media literacy. A series of workshops on global education, countering inequality and disinformation will be held in the secondary schools, and students, supported by educators, will develop their own mini-civic initiatives promoting social responsibility and local cooperation. Workshops will also be held to prepare students for Oxford debates, including argumentation, dialogue, data work, and source credibility analysis. Students will participate in argumentative sparring and a local Oxford Debating Tournament, whose theses will address social responsibility, trust in institutions, and informed use of information. The project engages the local community through school events, mini-grants, and a tournament, and the results will be disseminated in informational materials. Participants will develop key civic competencies: informed decision-making, critical thinking, dialogue skills, resistance to manipulation, and a willingness to act for the community.

With the support of donors like you, we can create spaces where young people not only learn to speak, but learn to think. Help us grow this initiative - every donation is an investment in the voice and future of the younger generation. Click here http://goto.gg/57433 and make a donation.
