Summary of the results

Karpos collaborated with Norsensus Mediaforum in a bilateral initiative focused on networking, knowledge exchange, and the transfer of technology and best practices. In August 2021, two members of Karpos traveled to Oslo, Norway, where they participated in a presentation, discussion, and experiential training on the MILagers program, which aims to empower young people by enhancing their media and information literacy. They also presented Karpos'' program, "A Suitcase with Images and Sounds Online." Due to Covid-19, only one representative from Norsensus traveled to Athens in February 2022 to present the completed "A Suitcase with Images and Sounds Online" program. This program is designed to train trainers and animators who work with non-profit organizations, specifically targeting socially vulnerable children and young people, in film education and audiovisual media. Additionally, Norsensus implemented an interactive seminar with a carefully selected focus group to gather feedback and refine the audiovisual training tools developed by both organizations.
