TARGET GROUPS

TO WHOM WE ARE ADDRESSING

Facilitators

As we are going to employ the methodology of service-learning, we need the facilitators working with young people to be fully aware of this methodology, the order of its employment. The facilitators are mainly the professors at the education centre where those young people study (could be high school, professional college, etc.). We will give them a course on service- learning before applying it with youngsters.

Young people

We are going to work with various groups of young people, predominantly high school students. Among them there will also be profiles with lower opportunities, such as immigrants and those coming from families with socioeconomic difficulties.

In the result of our intervention, we expect young people to be more responsible users of new media but also to consume information responsibly and analytically, moreover, be responsible content creators. How? Through theoretical input and lots of practice in the project framework when creating and developing their own media, filling it with content etc.
