Activities performed by students included flash mobs, discussion clubs, peer training, competitions, creation of a media club in Ungheni city, information materials, film viewing, etc. Teachers, in their turn, organized information sessions for fellow teachers and for parents, as well as homeroom hours for students.
Each team presented the activities it had conducted, the resources used, the results obtained, the lessons learned, and the experience gathered in the two months. All schools, supported by their administrations, want to continue their projects and to apply for new grants opportunities to develop them.
Participants mentioned that the implementation of these projects allowed them to assert themselves, gain new competences and abilities, become more aware of the information they consume, become more confident, and overcome the fear of public speaking. At the same time, they learned how to manage a project, from its writing to implementing all stages.
The activity was organized by the Independent Journalism Center in collaboration with Internews and with the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency through the Embassy of Sweden in Chisinau.
