From 1 to 6 September 2025, Latvijas jauniešu attīstības centrs hosted an Erasmus+ training for adult educators as part of WP 2 Media Literacy Training- Latvia, which aimed to teach them how to combat fake news, disinformation and develop critical thinking skills.

The event was part of the Erasmus+ KA210 project entitled “Media Literacy – The key to critical thinking” ( project ID 2024-2-PL01-KA210-ADU-000291364 ). The training brought together 12 educators from Latvia, Poland, and Romania in Saulkrasti.

During the training, participants participated in workshops such as the “Digital Safari,” where they analyzed social media content, and simulations that taught how to respond to fake news. The group of educators shared their observations about the media environment in their countries.

A key outcome of the training was the creation of practical, easily accessible resources for combating fake news and disinformation. Participants developed a variety of materials, including videos on “media hygiene,” educational articles, and infographics for social media, which are now available to other educators.
