Our aim is to create a learning space for activists, educators and local leaders working in environments vulnerable to disinformation from 23 European countries. Each Learning Group will work under the guidance of an experienced trainer who will lead the process, facilitate the exchange of knowledge, experiences and best practices among the participants, equip the participants in new insights and skills and help them introduce lessons learned in the international Learning Group into their local context

Brace yourself, winter is coming. Let’s meet to reflect on how to build resilience in young people and try practical ways of doing so. Is education (formal and non-formal) capable of supporting young people’s resilience and well-being in times of misinformation, instability, limited attention span and general information noise? What does it really mean to be resilient and does it equal being immune to crisis, difficulties and stress of everyday life, disinformation included?  

Together we will outline/showcase how teachers and educators can support children and young people to help them approach challenges and build resilience in a long perspective. We will refer to existing methods and frameworks - design thinking and socio-ecological model of health - and compliment them with practical tools and our expert group reflection.  
 
Join us in collaborating with an international team to co-create a shared vision for education, aimed at shaping young people capable of navigating the complexities of today's world. Together, we will explore how we can support them within our spheres of influence.
