Believe it or not
The town of Hrádek in the Moravian-Silesian region hosted a unique encounter of high school students from Poland and the Czech Republic. The project’s main theme was media literacy and fake news, tackled through non-formal education.
The program was rich and diverse:
- Workshops and debates on the role of media and challenges of disinformation.
- Games on fake news where teams identified true and false stories.
- Creating TV news – producing 25 videos across 5 different topics, sharpening creativity and digital skills.
- Outdoor activities including a walk to Filipka combined with a “moving debate.”
- Cultural evenings with traditional dances, quizzes, games, and national sweets from both countries.
The week ended with a certificate ceremony, celebrating the new knowledge, friendships, and intercultural experiences gained.
“This project was more than just learning about media literacy. It was about meeting new friends, stepping out of our comfort zones, and realizing how much we can achieve together in just a few days. Working in international teams taught us cooperation and patience, while the cultural evenings reminded us how close our traditions really are. Many of us left Hrádek with not only certificates but also memories, laughter, and new confidence that will stay with us for a long time,” confirmed by the project coordinator Martin Frolík.
