Fact or Fiction: Developing Inquiry and Critical Thinking Skills in Youth
Our mission is to inspire youth aged 12-19 to practice intelligent disobedience—doing what’s right despite pressures. Our main objective is to equip adolescents with the skills to confidently navigate the rapidly evolving digital environment and develop key competencies and digital resilience for independent functioning in adulthood. The project will be based on the participatory approach to ensure our workshop scenarios are evidence-based and address the real needs of today's youth and educators. Outputs’ testing and implementation will equip participants with essential critical thinking skills for navigating a complex online world. On-site and international online multiplier events will ensure widespread dissemination of our activities and results, amplifying the impact among adolescents and educators. Participants will explore social impact, cognitive biases, and topics like economics and online culture, sharpening their ability to distinguish facts from opinions. Educators will gain insights into digital education tools and strategies for nurturing students’ CT and information verification skills. Deliverables include 18 CT workshops for youth, supported by a report with themed scenarios and exercises for integrating CT skills into daily lessons.

FUTURE FOR ALL – Advancing Cross-Generational Collaboration through Futures Literacy (FFA)
The primary objective of the “FUTURE FOR ALL - Advancing Cross-Generational Collaboration through Futures Literacy (FFA)” project is to encourage active participation of citizens in the life of their respective neighborhoods with a specific emphasis on promoting intergenerational cooperation. The project addressed to elderly and youth residing in youth sociotheraphy centres (and the educators of the respective groups) identifies specific objectives: Face social problems between generations and contributing to lifelong learning Fight stereotypes, improve mutual knowledge and understanding Transfer of knowledge between Norway and Poland, and exchange of experience in applying futures thinking tools in working with intergenerational group Equip seniors and (socially maladjusted) youth with Futures Literacy tools to help them achieve developmental goals for their life stage Raise awareness of the local environment and a sense of responsibility, and agency to improve it To achieve these goals, the project intend to leverage the innovative approach of Futures Literacy to empower and engage the two crucial demographics. Futures Literacy is a concept and methodology developed by the UNESCO that presents an altered perspective on how to perceive and engage with the future (UNESCO, n.a.). It is a cognitive skill and a framework designed to enhance one’s capacity to comprehend, navigate and shape the complex and uncertain nature of the future. Apart from Futures Literacy approach the project will use additional activities designed to address key issues and encourage intergenerational collaboration such as: anti-stereotype and integrational workshops to provide a platform for both generations to openly discuss and challenge stereotypes that may hinder effective collaboration and understanding Urban Game Design: The elderly will take the lead in designing an urban game for the youth, offering them an opportunity to explore and connect with the city they know from a different perspective Planting activity: A shared activity of planting flowers will be organised to foster active citizenship and environmental awareness among the groups. Intergenerational trip: Organisation of a day trip to a museum or a concert chosen by either the elderly or the youth hold immense potential for interesting experiences among the participants The activities planned in the project support intergenerational cooperation, leverage the strengths of different age groups, creating a synergy that is particularly relevant in the context of modern world. By promoting understanding, collaboration, and mutual support among generations we can collectively adapt to and address the complex challenges of today’s rapidly changing world. The project will also strengthen bilateral cooperation between Poland and Norway in the area of building social capital in local communities. It will be achieved by a Polish and a Norwegian organisation that will combine their experiences in supporting active citizenship in their various environments and by using their different areas of expertise.
