As part of the dissemination activities following the Erasmus+ training in Georgia, Czech youth worker Martin organized a local awareness session at a high school in Přerov. The goal was to share key takeaways from the Erasmus+ course on preventing radicalisation and extremism with a younger audience.
The session emphasized critical thinking, media literacy, and positive youth action. Martin presented real-life scenarios, engaged the students in discussions on identity and belonging, and showcased Erasmus+ opportunities like youth exchanges and the European Solidarity Corps. Students participated actively and asked thoughtful questions both about the topic and how they could join similar international programs.

Participant Reflections

“We had no idea there were such cool projects in Europe. This made us want to be more involved.”
