Course description:

This 5-day media education course introduces participants to the fundamentals of media literacy, critical analysis, and digital content creation. Each day explores a key theme: media literacy, identifying media bias, fake news and misinformation, analysing the role of media in society, discussing the effect of social media on young people, online safety, creating responsible digital content, and practising ethical media use. Through interactive discussions, hands-on activities, and real-world case studies, learners will develop the skills to evaluate media critically and communicate effectively. The course encourages reflection on how media shapes identity, culture, and public opinion and its effect on young people in particular. Participants will also gain basic skills in online safety as well as basic technical skills in video, audio, or visual media production. By the end of the course, they will be more confident and informed media consumers and creators.

The course includes an optional outdoor adventure day in Finnish nature with an expert guide for a small extra fee (40 EUR).
