MEDIActive Youth
Our two previous E+ projects successfully launched a transcontinental initiative of improving youth media literacy. By now, capacities of 22 youth NGOs from Europe and Latin America have been raised, a Transnational Youth Magazine (TYM), e-magazine for youth policy, youth (media) activism and promotion of democratic values has been launched, and multilingual online courses have been created.
