Description

The project aims to strengthen civil society, build social sensitivity and awareness among young citizens. We deal with three thematic areas: social exclusion (especially of the LGBT+ community), the migrant crisis (countering human rights violations and other forms of discrimination) and climate change. We run workshops for a group of 20 young people who want to learn the craft of journalism in order to make the world a better place. The classes are conducted online, which allows people from all over Poland to participate. The workshops take the form of a series of meetings during which the participants learn about the ‘backstage’ of journalistic work and write their own texts on the subject of human rights. Each person participating in the project is supported by their own ‘mentor’ - a EURACTIV.pl journalist.
