Preventing Early Marriage and Media Literacy for the Elderly: Introducing Eduthon Winners’ Projects
In Georgia and Ukraine, projects that won national citizenship education Eduthons continue to be implemented.
The Green School in Georgia implements an educational project that aims to raise public and youth awareness about early marriage.
At the First Folk School of Kabali village and the youth centre of Akhmetetsi district, pupils watched the short film ‘Punami’s Fate’ and discussed the downside of early marriages.
The meetings also resulted in joint works and prints, which will be exhibited at various events in the region as a result of the project.
In Ukraine, activists of the public organisation ‘Plich-o-plich’ (Shoulder to Shoulder) continue to teach elderly people the basics of media literacy.
This time they travelled to the small villages of Syniv and Rusyvel, where they taught elderly residents how to use the different features of their smartphones.
The EENCE-Eduthon-2024 is organised by the Eastern European Association for Citizenship Education with the support of the Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb) at the expense of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
