Feedback
During the 10 days spent in Romania we had the opportunity to practice critical thinking and fake news prevention through various fun informal learning methods like world café, six thinking hats and my personal favorite – forum theater. Having such a diverse group of people coming from different backgrounds enabled us to have thought-provoking debates and challenge ourselves to look outside our bubble.

The training program successfully brought together diverse participants from different fields to provide them with innovative tools to combat prejudice and misinformation. Through activities such as recognizing fallacies, understanding opposing viewpoints, and using art to resolve disputes, the participants gained valuable knowledge and engaged in thought-provoking discussions.
