ChangingTIDE’s Media Literacy Incubator organised by Dublin City University, will take place on 30 July 2026, in Dublin, Ireland. The event will bring together young people aged 18 to 30 in a workshop aimed at providing them with the skills to recognise and combat fake news.
Who will participate in the workshop?
Participants in the workshop will include young adults:
- Aged 18-30
- Officially resident in EU member states (or countries for the CERV programme);
- Experienced in professional and voluntary sectors (e.g., sport, education, culture, business, community work);
- Interested in working on activities to boost media literacy and counter disinformation.
Why should you apply?
Participants will gain practical understanding and skills from leading experts including Dr Eileen Culloty and Dr Ricardo Castellini (DCU FuJo), Martina Chapman (Media Literacy Ireland), and Emily Lynch (Coimisiún na Meán). By participating, they will become part of a European network of media literacy ambassadors and may be selected to join the Changemakers Programme in Brussels.
