Additional modules build skills in recognising manipulation and misinformation, practicing constructive dialogue, and using ethical storytelling—including AI-assisted narrative tools—to inspire positive change. With contributions from “Lens Sharers” across the Euro-Med region, the module ultimately empowers youth workers, professionals, and young people to humanise the “other,” bridge divides, and become active promoters of peace and intercultural dialogue.

What you will learn:
The Living Together Youth Lab addresses emerging intercultural challenges in the Euro-Mediterranean region by equipping youth workers and educators with practical tools to transform everyday tensions, stereotypes, and feelings of exclusion into opportunities for dialogue, learning, and peacebuilding. Grounded in the Anna Lindh Intercultural Citizenship Education Handbook, the module enables participants to experience and deconstruct activities on diversity, migration, Euro-Med identities, participation, and social justice, and then adapt them to their own local youth contexts with attention to power dynamics and emotional safety. Working with real cases from their practice, participants design at least one “living together” activity and a short programme to implement with young people, ensuring meaningful youth participation in dialogue and decision-making processes. By the end, they gain a practical understanding of how to use the ALF Handbook as a toolbox, develop concrete session plans ready for testing, and join a peer network committed to fostering coexistence, dialogue, and nonviolent conflict transformation among youth across the region.

Language: English
Date: 13th, 14th, 15th, 20th,21st, 22nd April (17:00 – 19:00 CET)
What you will learn:
This training module tackles gender-based disinformation as a major barrier to intercultural dialogue, equipping women-led CSOs with practical skills to identify hostile narratives, respond safely and strategically, and foster more inclusive public discourse. Through Euro-Mediterranean case studies, hands-on simulations, and cross-cultural peer exchange, participants analyse how disinformation travels across borders, how cultural references and stereotypes are weaponised, and how coordinated responses can rebuild trust and protect civic space. The module covers the mechanisms of gender-based disinformation, its role in polarising narratives, digital safety and crisis response, the creation of culturally sensitive counternarratives, and the design of small-scale communication actions that promote dialogue. By providing a shared learning space for mixed-nationality groups, it helps participants compare narratives across contexts, deconstruct gendered constructions of “the Other,” and design responses that reduce polarisation. Ultimately, the module strengthens cross-regional solidarity among women-led CSOs and supports mutual understanding, trust building, and peaceful coexistence in line with the mission of the Anna Lindh Foundation.

Facilitated by: Femina RY
Country: Finland
Language: English
Date: 13th, 14th, 15th, 20th,21st, 22nd April (17:00 – 19:00 CET)
What you will learn:
This training module tackles gender-based disinformation as a major barrier to intercultural dialogue, equipping women-led CSOs with practical skills to identify hostile narratives, respond safely and strategically, and foster more inclusive public discourse. Through Euro-Mediterranean case studies, hands-on simulations, and cross-cultural peer exchange, participants analyse how disinformation travels across borders, how cultural references and stereotypes are weaponised, and how coordinated responses can rebuild trust and protect civic space. The module covers the mechanisms of gender-based disinformation, its role in polarising narratives, digital safety and crisis response, the creation of culturally sensitive counternarratives, and the design of small-scale communication actions that promote dialogue. By providing a shared learning space for mixed-nationality groups, it helps participants compare narratives across contexts, deconstruct gendered constructions of “the Other,” and design responses that reduce polarisation. Ultimately, the module strengthens cross-regional solidarity among women-led CSOs and supports mutual understanding, trust building, and peaceful coexistence in line with the mission of the Anna Lindh Foundation.

What you will learn:
This module introduces creative, participatory visual methods that help communities move beyond traditional surveys and feedback tools, which often feel disconnected from people’s lived realities. It teaches two core approaches: Participatory Evaluation Through Art, which uses symbolic photography, collage, intuitive drawing, storytelling cards, and embodied scenes to help participants express insights that might otherwise remain unspoken; and Participatory Survey of Themes Through Art, which employs photographic observation, collage-based mapping, guided storytelling, spatial mapping, and embodied scenarios to identify the issues that truly matter to a community. Together, these methods empower participants, strengthen critical reflection, and shift influence from external decisionmakers to community members. By transforming lived experience into collective knowledge, the module fosters deeper dialogue, inclusive participation, and collaborative group processes. By the end of the training, participants gain a practical toolkit for creative evaluation, participatory theme identification, collaborative analysis, and inclusive group leadership.

2: The Art of Being Heard
Facilitated by: Social Visions e.V.
Country: Germany
Language: English
Date: 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th May (13:00–16:00 CET)
What you will learn:
This module introduces creative, participatory visual methods that help communities move beyond traditional surveys and feedback tools, which often feel disconnected from people’s lived realities. It teaches two core approaches: Participatory Evaluation Through Art, which uses symbolic photography, collage, intuitive drawing, storytelling cards, and embodied scenes to help participants express insights that might otherwise remain unspoken; and Participatory Survey of Themes Through Art, which employs photographic observation, collage-based mapping, guided storytelling, spatial mapping, and embodied scenarios to identify the issues that truly matter to a community. Together, these methods empower participants, strengthen critical reflection, and shift influence from external decisionmakers to community members. By transforming lived experience into collective knowledge, the module fosters deeper dialogue, inclusive participation, and collaborative group processes. By the end of the training, participants gain a practical toolkit for creative evaluation, participatory theme identification, collaborative analysis, and inclusive group leadership.

What you will learn:
This module tackles rising mistrust, misinformation, propaganda, and entrenched prejudices affecting civil society by creating a safe, structured learning environment where participants develop emotional intelligence, broaden their perspectives, and gain practical tools for responsible communication and intercultural engagement. Through six interconnected sessions blending experiential learning, conflict analysis, coaching, reflective storytelling, and media literacy, participants explore the conflict cycle using regional cases, strengthen conflict sensitivity through the “Do No Harm” framework, and deepen empathy via roleplay and story-sharing exercises. Additional modules build skills in recognising manipulation and misinformation, practicing constructive dialogue, and using ethical storytelling—including AI-assisted narrative tools—to inspire positive change. With contributions from “Lens Sharers” across the Euro-Med region, the module ultimately empowers youth workers, professionals, and young people to humanise the “other,” bridge divides, and become active promoters of peace and intercultural dialogue.

4: Living Together Youth Lab: how to design activities to promote dialogue and peacebuilding with the ALF Handbook
Facilitated by: Youth Work Synergy
Country: Luxembourg
Language: English
Date: 11th, 14th, 18th, 21st May (10:00 – 13:00 CET)
What you will learn:
The Living Together Youth Lab addresses emerging intercultural challenges in the Euro-Mediterranean region by equipping youth workers and educators with practical tools to transform everyday tensions, stereotypes, and feelings of exclusion into opportunities for dialogue, learning, and peacebuilding. Grounded in the Anna Lindh Intercultural Citizenship Education Handbook, the module enables participants to experience and deconstruct activities on diversity, migration, Euro-Med identities, participation, and social justice, and then adapt them to their own local youth contexts with attention to power dynamics and emotional safety. Working with real cases from their practice, participants design at least one “living together” activity and a short programme to implement with young people, ensuring meaningful youth participation in dialogue and decision-making processes. By the end, they gain a practical understanding of how to use the ALF Handbook as a toolbox, develop concrete session plans ready for testing, and join a peer network committed to fostering coexistence, dialogue, and nonviolent conflict transformation among youth across the region.

5: Detect and debunk: practical tools for countering information manipulation in the Euro-Mediterranean space
Facilitated by: ESTIMA
Country: North Macedonia
Language: English
Date: 7th, 14th, 20th, 27th April, 4th, 11th May (14:00 – 16:00 CET)
What you will learn:
This module strengthens the capacity of young journalists, influencers, civic actors, and local media outlets across the Euro-Mediterranean region to recognise and counter information manipulation, which increasingly undermines social cohesion, trust in institutions, and the quality of public debate. Responding to the limited editorial resources and professional support available in many smaller cities and communities, the training offers practical, step-by-step skills for identifying manipulation techniques, validating sources, detecting coordinated inauthentic behaviour, and understanding how geopolitical interests shape narratives. Building on ESTIMA’s extensive experience with media professionals and its research into external influence and misleading narrative flows, the module uses real regional examples and evidence-based methods to help participants apply rapid verification tools both individually and in newsroom settings. By blending analytical insight with hands-on exercises and quizzes, the training enables participants to turn theory into operational competence, ultimately enhancing their ability to safeguard their audiences and strengthen the information ecosystems in which they work.

في السياق الديناميكي لمنطقة الأورومتوسط، أدى الاعتماد المتزايد على وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي والمنصات الرقمية كمصدر رئيسي للمعلومات بين الشباب إلى تضخيم انتشار المعلومات المضللة
لاسيما في ظل ضعف الوعي الإعلامي وعدم جاهزية المؤسسات للحد من هذا التدفق غير المتوازن، مما يسمح ببروز روايات أحادية تعيق الحوار البنّاء بين الثقافات. وتتسع الفجوة بين شمال وجنوب المتوسط
في فهم التضليل وآلياته نتيجة النقص الملحوظ في التدريبات العربية المتخصصة، وهو ما تؤكده دراسات معهد ماعت، التي تشير إلى حاجة ملحة لبناء القدرات في المواطنة الرقمية وكشف الروايات الخادعة
ومن هذا المنطلق، تقدم مؤسسة ماعت وحدة تدريبية عربية مدتها 12 ساعة تهدف إلى تمكين المهنيين والفاعلين المدنيين وقادة الشباب في جنوب المتوسط من الت
عرف على التضليل الإعلامي وتحليله ومواجهته بفعالية، عبر نهج تفاعلي يجمع بين التمارين العملية ودراسات الحالة والمساهمات الخبيرة وتبادل الممارسات الفضلى
