Mindful Media Mastery: Training

October 9-13, 2026 📍 Přerov, Czechia

Following our study visit in Istanbul, youth workers and young leaders from Czechia, Slovakia, and Türkiye teamed up once again, this time in the Czech town of Přerov. Our mission was to learn how to outsmart the algorithm, spot disinformation, and protect youth digital well-being.

This training went far beyond basic theory to give us real, hands-on tools to take back control of our screens.

Spotting fake news and hacking algorithms

We dove deep into the mechanics of the internet to understand disinformation and learn how to recognize fake news. Through interactive workshops and group work, we practiced the critical evaluation of online sources. By actively auditing how information spreads online, we sharpened our skills to bust myths and outsmart manipulative feeds.

Digital metal health

Navigating a constantly connected world can be exhausting, so a major focus of our training was exploring the effects of digital media and digital stress on youth mental health. We learned routines to calm our nervous systems, log off without FOMO, and stay emotionally grounded when the internet gets too loud.

Co-creating tools

We actively built resources for the future as we reviewed, discussed and gave feedback on the new Mindful Media Mastery Toolkit.

Content creation

After our intensive sessions, visited historical city of Olomouc to work on our media content.

The energy and intercultural exchange built during this training left us hyped and ready for action. We are now fully equipped and motivated to implement these acquired methods back in our local communities.

We continue taking youth work #BeyondTheAlgorithm in our upcoming local events!
