TThrough the Erasmus+ project Media and Information Literacy for Climate Change and Environmental Topics, the Toolkit was created for youth workers and educators consisting of 20 workshops providing ready-to-use materials for educators, including trainers and teachers (facilitators) to use for youth education.

The partnership between three organizations, DOMAS, Croatia; AgoraAveiro, Portugal; and Learning Library, Estonia, is centered around youth’s lack of practical knowledge regarding the critical use of digital media. Therefore, the goal of these workshops is:

To educate young people on how to consume media qualitatively and safely, resulting in the application of learned skills into everyday practice. This will ultimately lead to more informed and engaged digital citizens, who can use their understanding for a positive impact on climate change and environmental sustainability.

This educational resource serves as the theoretical background for the workshops, helping to identify media literacy practices and youth’s role in environmental sustainability awareness and activism. It provides a justification for the theme and learning methods, and practical advice for how to organise non-formal educational activities for youth and how to use the Toolkit.

Finally, it explains the workshop structures, giving a “How-to” for facilitators to navigate the various sections of each workshop plan.
