Target audience of the laboratories
“Media Literacy Saturdays” was a series of 5 non-formal learning sessions that helped participants to better understand the ways mass communication operates; the risks and potentials involved every time they open a newspaper or an application on their phone or PC or switch on a TV. Through games, discussions, simulations and a bit of lecturing, all prepared and facilitated by a team of young volunteers at Inter Alia, participants tackled different aspects of media literacy, namely, fake news, access to information, trend creation, group psychology, citizenship and democracy.
