International Erasmus+ courses

I have collaborated with CEFIG International since 2020 as an external expert. They regularly invite me onto their projects, where I design content and then lead intensive week-long training courses for international audiences from across Europe.

At the trainings we cover, for example:

• active source analysis and fact-checking (Think it Through, Think Twice),
• critical and structured thinking (Connecting the Dots, Make Sense),
• financial literacy (Planning for the Future, Check your Source),
• working with impact (Maximum Impact),
• media (MediAware, Media Maven),
• learning design and passing on media literacy (MediaEduLab).

Through simulations of real-world problems, participants internalise experiential pedagogy, which means they can immediately pass the acquired skills on within their home communities.
