Femina ry is pleased to invite young people, students, youth workers, aspiring journalists, content creators and civic actors to participate in the first international online training of the Nordic Youth Media Lab project.
📅 Date: 27 March 2026
📍 Format: Online via MS Teams
In today’s environment, information manipulation isn’t just noise, it’s a systemic strategy designed to undermine trust, social cohesion, and the quality of public debate.
The Nordic Youth Media Lab is launching its first intensive training module. We are moving beyond basic media literacy to build operational competence for young journalists, influencers, and civic actors across the Nordic-Baltic region.
Smaller cities and local media often face the brunt of coordinated attacks with limited editorial resources. This hands-on training bridges that gap, providing the professional support needed to safeguard your audience and your community.
What you will master:
The N-B Context: Understanding how geopolitical interests shape narratives, specifically in our region.
Narrative Mapping: Identifying “porous zones”, the societal vulnerabilities where manipulation takes root.
Ecosystem Analysis: Deep-diving into platforms to spot coordinated inauthentic behaviour.
Newsroom Strategies: Practical, step-by-step skills for rapid verification and debunking.
