Project Result
The final result of the project will be an online toolkit. This toolkit is divided into two main parts:
- Basic political knowledge/literacy.
- Awareness of democratic and European values.
The online toolkit will provide the following outcomes:
O1: Video-testimonies with interviews of political actors (politicians, ONGs or foundations) or activists. They will explain their experience, idea and vision about democracy, European values, and tolerance. The aim is to motivate and inspire young people with personal stories and opinions.
O2: Podcast series supported by written content about basic democratic knowledge and political literacy.
O3: Online Escape Room. Basic democratic knowledge as well as tolerant and pluralistic ideas are promoted in an inmersive gamified learning experience.
Another outcome of the project is a Guide for Youth Workers, who are working with young people with low qualifications or unemployed young people.
