Register for our E-Training „Think beyond borders“!
The Youth of European Nationalities (YEN) is looking for participants for the E-Training “Think beyond borders”, part of the YEN’s Digital Summer.
About the E-Training:
Even under the current circumstances when at home and not being able to travel, we want to keep our network active and connected and reflect on the current situation as well as the challenges national minorities face.
The E-training will focus on the causes and consequences of Populism and Nationalism as well as on critical thinking and media literacy, tools that are particularly (but not only) valuable in these challenging times. It will also invite you to think about and share possible (re-)action strategies, tools and good practices and build cooperation. The training will be led by Cihan Kilic and take place on Clickmeeting (you will receive further information after the registration phase).
