Announcing Our Partnership with Shout Out UK:
Launching a New Media Literacy Program for Ukrainian Youth
The Educational Equality Institute (TEEI) is thrilled to announce a transformative partnership with Shout Out UK, a leading organization in political and media literacy for young people. This collaboration heralds the launch of a specialized media literacy program, tailored for Ukrainian youth and integrated into our broader Together for Ukraine initiative.
Impactful Background of Shout Out UK
Shout Out UK has made a notable impact on over 30,000 young individuals across the UK. Its programs equip youth with essential skills such as critical thinking, analytical capabilities, and emotional resilience, which are crucial for challenging misinformation effectively.
Program Goals and Curriculum
Empowering Ukrainian Youth through Media Literacy
Drawing on Shout Out UK’s extensive experience, our new program is meticulously crafted to empower Ukrainian youth to recognize and counteract propaganda and misinformation online. The curriculum will cover critical topics including:
- Far-right extremist threats
- Conspiracy theories
- Online radicalization
- Hate speech
This initiative positions media literacy as the first line of defense against the proliferation of extremist rhetoric online, aiming to equip young Ukrainians with the tools necessary to discern credible information in a complex media landscape.
Expanded Educational Opportunities
Enhancing Skills with Professional Mentoring and Upskilling
In addition to media literacy, our collaboration will include professional mentoring and upskilling programs. These initiatives are designed to further reinforce the emotional resilience and critical thinking abilities of participants, arming them with strong capabilities to navigate and counter the risks associated with misinformation and extremist rhetoric.
Looking Forward
A Commitment to Comprehensive Education
We are enthusiastic about the positive impact this partnership will have within the Together for Ukraine initiative. Together with Shout Out UK, we are committed to providing Ukrainian youth with a comprehensive educational experience that fosters resilience and empowers them with critical knowledge for navigating the digital age.
